"Dr Green sees a better understanding of magnetic flux ropes and their role in emissions from the Sun and other stars as one of the most pressing questions not just for solar physics but astronomy as a whole.

She comments, "Flux ropes are thought to play a vital role in the evolution of the magnetic field of the Sun. However, the physics of flux ropes is applied across the Universe. For example, a solar physics model of flux rope ejection was recently used to explain the jets driven by the accretion disks around the supermassive black holes found in the centre of galaxies."

Getting closer to the right idea, but with the wrong physics?

Reminds me handily of the Sigmoids thread from a while back... And they should KNOW sigmoids are electric now... What goes with electric currents? Hey, magnetic fields, who'd have guessed? Golly.
