In the declining part of the cycle flares are generally less frequent but more energetic. Is that because the magnetic field lines become more 'twisted' (for lack of a better word) during the declining phase of the cycle? --- Other way around. The field is less tangled, so there are fewer opportunities for reconnection. However, this also means that if reconnection occurs, it can rearrange the field on a large scale, releasing a lot of energy. -- John Doty I thought the solar cycle is primarily driven by the effect of the sun's differential rotation on it's magnetic field. If this is correct, how does it relate to what you say (above) about the field lines becoming less 'twisted' during the declining phase of the cycle? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
