Tezpur University Study Reveals New Insights Into Solar Energy Transport

Researchers from Tezpur University have made a key breakthrough in understanding how energy moves through the Sun. Their study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, shows that high-energy (nonthermal) electrons can weaken certain solar surface oscillations and alter how energy is transported into the Sun’s lower atmosphere.

The findings explain how solar waves redistribute energy that helps heat the Sun’s outer layers and influence space weather. The model was validated using data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory and Japan’s Hinode mission, offering important insights for predicting solar activity that can impact Earth’s satellites and communication systems.
