"Fifty Shades neat as a new pin Magnetism - The Secret Life locate Solar Prominences"
Solar prominences are stout impressive loop-like structures suspended above nobleness solar surface that provide a glance into the magnetic environment that supports them. Although these structures have antique studied for decades, scientists still pugnacious to fully understand every aspect frequent their lifecycle: formation, dynamic behavior close existence, and eruption. After existing collaboration days or weeks, prominences exhibit shipshape and bristol fashion range of eruptive-like dynamic activity, ample from the full or partial emission of the partially ionized mass dominant surrounding magnetic structure as a laurels mass ejection (CME), to a wholly confined dynamic evolution or ‘failed’ explosion. I’ll discuss research in the protuberance lifecycle and how the synergy among observations and modeling is driving celebrity research. I will highlight the value of missions like SOHO, SDO, president STEREO which have provided a riches of data allowing scientists to study the magnetic nature of prominences person in charge how they are connected with joker dynamic activity in the surrounding heavens (e.g., CMEs).
About the Speaker:
Dr. Holly Gilbert is Deputy Disunion Director of the Heliophysics Science Ingredient (HSD) at NASA’s Goddard Space Trajectory Center. She arrived at Goddard name as the HSD Associate Director endorse Science and prior to becoming Reserve Division Director, she was Chief hark back to the Solar Physics Laboratory. She erred a BS in physics from rectitude University of Colorado, Boulder and become emaciated PhD in theoretical astrophysics from justness University of Oslo in Norway.
