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…

Tracing a Multi-Temperature Quiescent Prominence's Thermodynamic Evolution from Sun to Earth

Callie A. García, Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman +5

Solar prominences are cool, dense stable structures routinely observed in the corona. Prominences are often ejected from the Sun via coronal mass ejections (CMEs). However, they ar…

Proton specific entropy as a proxy for the charge state ratio over heliocentric distance

Jack D. Collard, Tamar Ervin, Ryan M. Dewey +10

While the fast solar wind has well-established origins in coronal holes, the source of the slow solar wind remains uncertain. Compositional metrics, such as heavy ion charge state…

In situ Evidence of 5-minute Oscillations from Parker Solar Probe

Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Olga Panasenco +19

The Sun's surface vibrates in characteristic 5-minute oscillations, known as p-modes, generated by sound waves trapped within the convection zone. Although these oscillations have…

Multi-spacecraft Measurements of the Evolving Geometry of the Solar Alfvén Surface Over Half a Solar Cycle

Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens, Stuart D. Bale +18

The geometry of a star's Alfvén surface determines stellar angular momentum loss, separates a causally distinct 'corona' and stellar wind, and potentially affects exoplanetary habi…

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…

Solar Coronal Heating: Role of Kinetic and Inertial Alfvén Waves in Heating and Charged Particle Acceleration

Syed Ayaz, Gary P. Zank, Imran A. Khan +3

A comprehensive understanding of solar coronal heating and charged particle acceleration remains one of the most critical challenges in space and astrophysical plasma physics. In t…

The Evolution of Heavy Ion Abundances with Solar Activity

B. L. Alterman, Y. J. Rivera, S. T. Lepri +2

When observed at 1 AU, slow solar wind is typically considered to have originated in source regions with magnetic topologies that are intermittently open to the heliosphere. Fast w…

Evidence of Extreme Ultraviolet Resonant Excitation in the Middle Corona During A Solar Flare

Daniel B. Seaton, Cooper Downs, Giulio Del Zanna +10

We present observations of an eruptive solar flare on 2016 January 6 that occurred behind the solar limb from the perspective of the Earth, but was well observed by STEREO and the…

Helium Abundance Periods Observed by the Solar Probe Cup on Parker Solar Probe: Encounters 1-14

Madisen Johnson, Yeimy J. Rivera, Tatiana Niembro +7

Parker Solar Probe is a mission designed to explore properties of the solar wind closer than ever before. Detailed particle observations from the Solar Probe Cup (SPC) have primari…

An assessment of observational coverage and gaps for robust Sun to heliosphere integrated science

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman

Understanding the generation and development of the continuous outflow from the Sun requires tracing the physical conditions from deep in the corona to the heliosphere. Detailed gl…

Ion Charge States from a Global Time-Dependent Wave-Turbulence-Driven Model of the Solar Wind: Comparison with in-situ Measurements

Pete Riley, Roberto Lionello, Yeimy J. Rivera

Solar wind charge-state measurements contain a wealth of knowledge related to the properties of the solar corona from where they originated. However, their interpretation has remai…

Differentiating the acceleration mechanisms in the slow and Alfvénic slow solar wind

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, J. L. Verniero +18

In the corona, plasma is accelerated to hundreds of kilometers per second, and heated to temperatures hundreds of times hotter than the Sun's surface, before it escapes to form the…
