On the Constraints and Observational Manifestations of Failed Solar Eruptions in Toroidal Magnetic Cage
Jinhan Guo, Y. Guo, H. Wu +9
Observations show that many solar eruptions remain confined within strong overlying magnetic fields, forming a so-called magnetic cage. While confinement by poloidal overlying fiel…
Optical losses as a function of beam position on the mirrors in a 285-m suspended Fabry-Perot cavity
Y. Zhao, M. Vardaro, E. Capocasa +4
Reducing optical losses is crucial for reducing quantum noise in gravitational-wave detectors. Losses are the main source of degradation of the squeezed vacuum. Frequency dependent…
