(PhysOrg.com) -- A study led by UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory has shown for the first time that sunquakes can be produced during eruptions of magnetic field and charged particles, as the immense magnetic structure blasts off into the Solar System. The results were presented by Dr. Sergei Zharkov at the National Astronomy Meeting 2012 in Manchester on Friday 30th March 2012.
