Another side effect of magnetic reconnection in the corona that is being searched for by A.I. is a phenomenon called"." It occurs when reconnection causes localized drops in temperature within the corona. This causes denser clumps of plasma, some 150 miles across, to form and then fall out of the corona at 62 miles per second, like gigantic.
Antolin and fellow Northumbria solar physicist Luke McMullan are training A.I. on images of coronal rain seen by IRIS, and then employing those algorithms to enhance and search lower-resolution imagery taken by SDO for signs of coronal rain. Together, these two A.I.-led quests for the effects of magnetic reconnection could finally answer the question of why the solar corona is so incredibly hot.
