The reporter learned today from the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the joint research team led by the observatory used a “mid-infrared observation system for accurate measurement of the Sun's magnetic field” and discovered that the magnetic field in the lower atmosphere weakened significantly during the pulsed phase of the solar flare eruption. This discovery helps construct a more complete model of solar flares and deepens understanding of the mechanism of flare dynamics. The research results were recently published online in the international academic journal “Nature Astronomy”.
