太阳磁场编织现象可能存在此前未知的成因

科学家利用丹尼尔·井上建太阳望远镜发现了一种发生在太阳表面的机制，该机制可能导致了太阳外层大气的加热。这一发现有助于解释太阳磁场编织现象的物理本质，并可能适用于其他恒星的类似活动。

Scientists using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawai'i have found a mechanism occurring on the Sun's surface that they think is heating our star's outer atmosphere. The process, called a Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI), could well be the root cause of a phenomenon called flux braiding that builds up and moves around on the Sun and heats the coronasphere. This discovery may well also explain the fundamental physics of similar activity at other stars.
