Princeton Astrophysics researchers find new way to detect coronal mass ejections
Stephen Majeski, a graduate student in the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and Professor Hantao Ji, a professor in the astrophysics department, have made a new discovery that allows them to detect potential coronal mass ejections and learn more about their behaviors to prevent them before they reach Earth. Their research takes a novel, analytical approach to understanding plasmoid behavior — a tedious yet effective task due to the variance of plasmoid occurrence.
