Journal ArticleDOI
Existence of Electromagnetic-Hydrodynamic Waves
TL;DR: In this article, a conducting liquid is placed in a constant magnetic field and every motion of the liquid gives rise to an E. H. M. F. which produces electric currents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Currents in the solar atmosphere and a theory of solar flares
Hannes Alfvén,Per Carlqvist +1 more
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Theory of Comet Tails
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that some of the difficulties of Biermann's theory can be overcome if the assumed radiation consists of beams with a frozen-in magnetic field of the same type as required in the electric field theory of magnetic storms and aurorae.
Book
On the origin of the solar system
TL;DR: In this article, a theory of the origin of the solar system is discussed, including introduction and general principles, accretion of planets, partial corotation of a magnetized plasma, and the structure of the Saturnian rings.
Book
Evolution of the Solar System
Hannes Alfvén,Gustaf Arrhenius +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the origin and evolution of the solar system are analyzed, followed by experimental studies of plasma-solid reactions and chemical and mineralogical analyses of meteorites and lunar and terrestrial samples.
