... Astronomers of the SAO together with an international group of scientists have proposed an explanation to the long-standing mystery of why magnetic fields are more common amongst cool white dwarf stars than amongst young and hotter ones. ... As the result magnetic white dwarfs demonstrate excess in their frequencies in the temperature range below 14000K. The authors also show that the strongly magnetic white dwarfs are of the oldest stars of the Galaxy originated from intermediate-mass relic stars. ...

Circling around magnetic field lines. ... The ring current . Because positive ions and negative electrons drift in opposite directions (see drawing), that motion will create an electric current that circulates clockwise around the Earth when viewed from north. ... How then can the radiation belt and ring current arise? ... Electric fields are able to push trapped particles earthward, and unlike the purely magnetic motion described earlier, an electric field can also energize them. ...

... In the western literature this method is now called ``coupled dipole method" (CDM). ... Thus, a system of equations relative to the fields scattered by the elementary domains can be obtained, and summation of these fields gives the total scattering field. ... A subtle difference between both methods is in the fact that in the first method one works with the fields which excite a dipole (without the field of the dipole), whereas in the second method one uses the real fields in a given domain. ...

The space between the planets is far from empty. It contains: electromagnetic radiation (photons); hot plasma (electrons, protons and other ions) a.k.a. the solar wind ; cosmic rays; microscopic dust particles; and magnetic fields (primarily the Sun's). While the Sun 's radiation is obvious, the other components of the interplanetary medium were not discovered until very recently. ... Except near some of the planets, interplanetary space is filled with the Sun's magnetic field. ... Sun .. ...

... Magnetic fields, subatomic particles, etc., traveling in different directions fill the universe. Do they deflect or otherwise affect one another? If so, isnт??t the information we get from them distorted? ... Neutrino astronomy, which is still in its infancy, is attractive because neutrinos interact so weakly with matter that few of these distorting effects occur.
