(Phys.org)—An international team of researchers working on a project that involves monitoring and studying data received from a group of satellites that has been stationed very close to one another in orbit,has observed for the first time, electrons moving faster due to interactions with certain speedy electric-field waves, or which suggests the opportunity of such waves playing a role in the creation of high-energy particles. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters,the team describes their observational data regarding a collision between the solar wind and a time domain structure and the impact it had on high energy electrons.
