Flux ropes and dynamics of the heliospheric current sheet
V. Réville, N. Fargette, A. P. Rouillard +19
Context. Solar Orbiter and PSP jointly observed the solar wind for the first time in June 2020, capturing data from very different solar wind streams, calm and Alfvénic wind as wel…
Magnetic reconnection as a mechanism to produce multiple protonpopulations and beams locally in the solar wind
B. Lavraud, R. Kieokaew, N. Fargette +37
Context. Spacecraft observations early revealed frequent multiple proton populations in the solar wind. Decades of research on their origin have focused on processes such as magnet…
First year of energetic particle measurements in the inner heliosphere with Solar Orbiter's Energetic Particle Detector
R. F. Wimmer-Schweingruber, N. Janitzek, D. Pacheco +45
Solar Orbiter strives to unveil how the Sun controls and shapes the heliosphere and fills it with energetic particle radiation. To this end, its Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) h…
Signatures of coronal hole substructure in the solar wind: combined Solar Orbiter remote sensing and in situ measurements
T. S. Horbury, R. Laker, L. Rodriguez +21
Context. The Sun's complex corona is the source of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field. While the large scale morphology is well understood, the impact of variations i…
Solar Orbiter Observations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability in the Solar Wind
R. Kieokaew, B. Lavraud, Y. Yang +17
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) is a nonlinear shear-driven instability that develops at the interface between shear flows in plasmas. KHI has been inferred in various astro…
Multi point analysis of coronal mass ejection flux ropes using combined data from Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo and Wind
A. J. Weiss, C. Moestl, E. E. Davies +15
The recent launch of Solar Orbiter and BepiColombo opened a brief window in which these two spacecraft were positioned in a constellation that allows for the detailed sampling of a…
Radial Evolution of the April 2020 Stealth Coronal Mass Ejection between 0.8 and 1 AU -- A Comparison of Forbush Decreases at Solar Orbiter and Earth
Johan L. Freiherr von Forstner, Mateja Dumbović, Christian Möstl +40
Aims. We present observations of the first coronal mass ejection (CME) observed at the Solar Orbiter spacecraft on April 19, 2020, and the associated Forbush decrease (FD) measured…
The Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action
I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182
Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…
