India, Feb. 9 -- Researchers from Tezpur University have reported a major advance in solar physics, showing how high-energy particles can alter oscillations on the Sun's surface and influence the transport of energy into its lower atmosphere - processes closely linked to solar activity and space weather.

The study, published recently in The Astrophysical Journal, examines how energetic electrons reshape the Sun's natural vibrations and regulate the flow of energy from the solar surface into the outer atmospheric layers. The research was conducted by Souvik Das, a DST-INSPIRE senior research fellow, under the supervision of Prof. Pralay Kumar Karmakar of the Department of Physics, Tezpur University.

The Sun's surface undergoes constant v...
