Solar Wind Heating Near the Sun: A Radial Evolution Approach

Yogesh, Leon Ofman, Kristopher Klein +19

Characterizing the plasma state in the near-Sun environment is essential to constrain the mechanisms that heat and accelerate the solar wind. In this study, we use Parker Solar Pro…

Alfvénic solar wind intervals observed by Solar Orbiter: Exploiting the capability of the SWA plasma suite and source region investigation

R. D'Amicis, J. M. Raines, S. Benella +32

Fast and slow solar wind have distinct properties linked to their solar sources.Alfvénic slow wind complicates the usual speed-based classification, especially at intermediate spee…

How the Oblique Drift Instability Alters Solar Wind Heating and Constrains the Distribution of Solar Wind Observations

Mihailo M. Martinovic, Kristopher G. Klein, Leon Ofman +6

Ion-driven plasma instability thresholds, derived from linear theory, constrain the distribution of solar observations in parameter space, defining boundaries of stable plasma para…

On the Regulation of the Solar Wind Helium Abundance by the Hydrogen Compressibility

B. L. Alterman, R. D'Amicis

Traditionally, fast solar wind is considered to originate in solar source regions that are continuously open to the heliosphere and slow wind originates in regions that are intermi…

Observational Constraints on the Radial Evolution of O Temperature and Differential Flow in the Inner Heliosphere

Yeimy J. Rivera, Kristopher G. Klein, Joseph H. Wang +15

Over decades of solar wind observations, heavy ions have been observed to have a higher temperature and flow faster than protons in the solar corona and heliosphere. Remote observa…

Characterizing the Impact of Alfvén Wave Forcing in Interplanetary Space on the Distribution of near-Earth Solar Wind Speeds

B. L. Alterman

Broadly, solar wind source regions can be classified by their magnetic topology as intermittently and continuously open to the heliosphere. Early models of solar wind acceleration…
