| Description: | [CESSI Colloquium] Sanchita Pal (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) -- The evolution of solar magnetic storms through interplanetary space |
| Date: | Monday, Jan 30, 2023 |
| Time: | 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. |
| Venue: | Asima Chatterjee Lecture Theatre |
| Details: | Solar magnetic storms, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are giant eruptions of solar magnetized plasma often accompanied by high energy radiation. CMEs are the major drivers of geomagnetic storms that are hazardous to satellites and ground-based conductors such as power grids and pipelines. The underlying magnetic structures of these space storms are dynamic and evolve during their interplanetary passage from the Sun to Earth, which influences their geoeffectiveness. In my talk, I will discuss how in situ observations from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and ESA Solar Orbiter mission along with other solar observatories help in deciphering CME flux rope evolution. |
