Solar and Stellar Magnetism

Solar and stellar magnetism refers to the magnetic fields generated by stars, including our Sun, due to the movement of electrically conductive plasma in their interiors. These magnetic fields can influence various solar activities, such as sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections, which can affect space weather and even impact technology on Earth. In astrophysical plasmas, the interaction of magnetic fields with charged particles shapes star formation, regulates stellar evolution, and creates complex structures like solar winds and stellar jets, illustrating the profound connection between magnetism and the behavior of celestial bodies.
