Another bald-faced assertion without evidence. It is not assertion it is well known fact: http://solartheory.nrl.navy.mil/sola...e-topology.pdf From the ABSTRACT of that paper: "...only the general topological properties of those regions on the Sun where the field extends from the photosphere out to interplanetary space, the so-called open field regions that are usually observed as coronal holes." I don't think "open field" means what you think it does... Now, no doubt there are *some* interactions with external magnetic fields, tempered by the shielding effect of the heliopause. But certainly the vast majority of the Sun's magnetic field lines originate and terminate in the Sun. You can read here how the magnetic field of the sun was measured with probe Ulysses and showed that the magnetic field of the sun is not dipole as would expected if the magnetic field of the sun was produced inside the sun. The sun magnetic field is not produced by the sun itself but originate at the galactic disk. Search the Parker model (dipole) that was replaced with the Fisk model. http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~mbird/...uls_frame.html "It is suspected that pressure gradients near the Sun are responsible for redistributing the magnetic flux." No mention of external fields inducing the Sun's. "The direction of the high latitude magnetic field was found to be slightly more azimuthal (more tighly wound) than the predicted Parker spiral (Forsyth et al. 1995)" Hardly seems revolutionary, nor inducative of support for your theories. For the star rotation axis you can read in the link below that only a minimum value can be given to the rotation. The measurement is done with broadening of the spectral lines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_rotation What's that got to do with determining the _orientation_ of the spin axis? The fact that only a minimum velocity can be determined is because the axis may be oriented in such a way that it is more or less pointing at us, so much of the rotational motion does not produce a doppler shift along our line of sight. This still allows us to assign an orientation to the spin axis -- along the line of sight. Given a random distribution of spin axis orientations, one can work out the statistical expectations of observing spin axes in various orientations as 'projected' onto the celestial sphere. What is observed in reality is what is expected of such a random distribution. |
