Testing Theories of Solar Coronal Heating with Three-Dimensional Forward Modeling
Steven R. Cranmer, Chris R. Gilly
After almost a century of speculation, the physical processes responsible for heating the Sun's corona remain uncertain. Observations of coronal loops at extreme ultraviolet and X-…
Ubiquitous high-frequency waves and disturbances in the active region corona observed with DKIST/Cryo-NIRSP
Momchil E. Molnar, Richard Morton, Alin Paraschiv +4
The plasma of the solar corona harbors a multitude of coronal wave modes, some of which could be dissipated to provide the required energy and momentum to heat the corona and accel…
Visualization of High Dynamic Range Solar Imagery and the Radial Histogram Equalizing Filter
Chris Gilly, Steven Cranmer
Standard visualizations of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) solar imagery often fail to convey the full complexity of the Sun's corona, especially in faint off-limb regions. This can leav…
Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74
The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…
Field Line Universal relaXer (FLUX): A Fluxon Approach to Coronal Magnetic Field Modeling
Chris Lowder, Chris Gilly, Craig DeForest
We describe a novel method for modeling the global, steady solar wind using photospheric magnetic fields as a driving boundary condition. Prior wind models in this class include bo…
The Sun's Alfven Surface: Recent Insights and Prospects for the Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Steven R. Cranmer, Rohit Chhiber, Chris R. Gilly +7
The solar wind is the extension of the Sun's hot and ionized corona, and it exists in a state of continuous expansion into interplanetary space. The radial distance at which the wi…
Small Platforms, High Return: The Need to Enhance Investment in Small Satellites for Focused Science, Career Development, and Improved Equity
James Paul Mason, Robert G. Begbie, Maitland Bowen +33
In the next decade, there is an opportunity for very high return on investment of relatively small budgets by elevating the priority of smallsat funding in heliophysics. We've lear…
Improving Multi-Dimensional Data Formats, Access, and Assimilation Tools for the Twenty-First Century
Daniel B. Seaton, Amir Caspi, Roberto Casini +12
Heliophysics image data largely relies on a forty-year-old ecosystem built on the venerable Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) data standard. While many in situ measurements us…
Radio Studies of the Middle Corona: Current State and New Prospects in the Next Decade
Bin Chen, Jason E. Kooi, David B. Wexler +13
The "middle corona," defined by West et al. (2022) as the region between ~1.5-6 solar radii, is a critical transition region that connects the highly structured lower corona to the…
Defining the Middle Corona
Matthew J. West, Daniel B. Seaton, David B. Wexler +31
The middle corona, the region roughly spanning heliocentric altitudes from to , encompasses almost all of the influential physical transitions and processes that…
The Effect of Solar Wind Expansion and Non-Equilibrium Ionization on the Broadening of Coronal Emission Lines
Chris R. Gilly, Steven R. Cranmer
When observing spectral lines in the optically-thin corona, line-of-sight (LOS) effects can strongly affect the interpretation of the data, especially in regions just above the lim…
