Observations of Disrupted CME Material Falling Back Into the Low Corona

Brian E. Wood, Jason E. Kooi

We present an empirical study of a disrupted CME, parts of which fall back to the Sun, using observations from SOHO, STEREO-A, and SDO. At UT 18:00 on 2024 August 16, a slow CME is…

HST Observations of HD 166620 and Tau Ceti: First UV Spectra of a Magnetic Grand Minimum Star and the Extent of Tau Ceti's Astrosphere

Brian E. Wood, Hans-Reinhard Mueller, Dean Hartshorn +2

We present new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) UV spectra of the K2 V star HD 166620, the first star clearly recognized to be in a "magnetic grand minimum" state analogous to the Sun'…

Testing the Flux Rope Paradigm for Coronal Mass Ejections Using a Three Spacecraft Encounter Event

Brian E. Wood, Phillip Hess

We present a 3-D morphological and field reconstruction of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from 2023 November 28, which hits three spacecraft near 1 au: Wind at Earth's L1 Lagrange p…

Resolving Red Giant Winds with the Hubble Space Telescope

Brian E. Wood, Graham M. Harper, Hans-Reinhard Mueller

We describe recent spectroscopic observations of red giant stars made by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) instrument on board the Hubble Space Telescope, which have…

A WISPR of the Venus Surface: Analysis of the Venus Nightside Thermal Emission at Optical Wavelengths

J. Lustig-Yaeger, N. R. Izenberg, M. S. Gilmore +8

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) conducted several flybys of Venus while using Venus' gravity for orbital adjustments to enable its daring passes of the Sun. During these flybys, PSP turne…

New Observations Needed to Advance Our Understanding of Coronal Mass Ejections

Erika Palmerio, Benjamin J. Lynch, Christina O. Lee +19

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large eruptions from the Sun that propagate through the heliosphere after launch. Observational studies of these transient phenomena are usually b…

Connecting Solar and Stellar Flares/CMEs: Expanding Heliophysics to Encompass Exoplanetary Space Weather

B. J. Lynch, B. E. Wood, M. Jin +25

The aim of this white paper is to briefly summarize some of the outstanding gaps in the observations and modeling of stellar flares, CMEs, and exoplanetary space weather, and to di…

Element Abundances: A New Diagnostic for the Solar Wind

J. Martin Laming, Angelos Vourlidas, Clarence Korendyke +11

We examine the different element abundances exhibited by the closed loop solar corona and the slow speed solar wind. Both are subject to the First Ionization Potential (FIP) Effect…
