Magnetic pulsations (Earth 🌍)

Magnetic pulsations are extremely low frequency disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere driven by its interactions with the solar wind. These variations in the planet's magnetic field can oscillate for multiple hours when a solar wind driving force strikes a resonance. This is a form of Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. The intensity...

[#ActuScience @IRAP ] A young IRAP PhD student formulates a new #theoretical model of the giant #magnetospheres of the planets #Jupiter and #Saturn: "By considering only the global motion of the #plasma (coming from the moons #Io and #Enceladus), it is possible to understand it simply as... a competition between various rotation resistances!"

[@IRAP #Seminar] this Thursday at 11am. Benjamin Crinquant, a young researcher at IRAP, will present the progress we have made in our knowledge of #BlackHoles: from the observations carried out by the #GRAVITY and #EventHorizonTelescope collaborations to the most recent models of the #magnetospheres and #coronae of black holes.

Moved to #Astrodon, so I guess that an #introduction is in order! 😄

Hello there! I'm a #CNRS researcher at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur. My work concerns #plasmas, #turbulence, #magneticfields, #instabilities, and its application range from the turbulent heating of the #solarwind and its interaction with planetary #magnetospheres, to the transport of #cosmicrays in the Galaxy. 🤓

Besides work, I love #taekwondo, I really enjoy #seaside and #beach, and I'm a big #nerd too, of course! 😎
