XMM-Newton reveals giant flare from a tiny star

A star of about eight percent the Sun's mass has been caught emitting an enormous 'super flare' of X-rays—a dramatic high-energy eruption that poses a fundamental problem for astronomers, who did not think it possible on stars that small.

Energy can only be placed in a star's magnetic field by charged particles, which are also known as ionized material and created in high-temperature environments. As an L dwarf, however, J0331-27 has a low surface temperature for a star—just 2100K compared to the roughly 6000K on the Sun. Astronomers did not think such a low temperature would be capable of generating enough charged particles to feed so much energy into the magnetic field. So the conundrum is: how a super flare is even possible on such a star.

"That's a good question," says Beate. "We just don't know—nobody knows."

It's rather telling that the mainstream solar model cannot explain something as simple as a solar flare, particularly since they've been "explained' and simulated in the lab for more than a full century.

I think this just demonstrates that the mainstream doesn't have the first clue how to explain anything important related to solar physics or cosmology in general. 95 percent of the mainstream model amounts to nothing more than placeholder terms for human ignorance, and they still can't explain a simple solar flare. How sad is that?

I imagine that you have a model that explains this?

Sure, but a solar flare is electrical in nature and it doesn't require that all the energy associated with a flare is necessarily produced *internally*.

The problem with the mainstream solar model is that it has no working (in the lab) explanation for a sustained full sphere hot corona, nor sustained coronal loops, polar jets, or any of the key solar features we observe in satellite images today. The MRx model is as useless in the lab in terms of producing useful results as their dark matter models. They simply do not and will no produce such important solar atmospheric features in real experiments.

On the other hand, Birkeland was able to produce all of those things in a lab over a century ago based on electrical current and electric fields.

Sure

So what is it?
