Axial-Dipole and Equatorial-Dipole Coronal Holes: Congruent Magnetic Geometry, Divergent Evolution

Olga A. Panasenco, Yi-Ming Wang, Samuel T. Badman +2

While the Sun's polar fields reverse, the axial dipole is weak and low-latitude coronal holes are common. Equatorial-dipole coronal holes (EDCHs) appear when the equatorial dipole…

Measured energy exchange in coronal hole solar wind from its solar origins to the heliosphere

Yeimy J. Rivera, Alin R. Paraschiv, Samuel T. Badman +33

Coordinated ground- and space-based remote observations are used to provide a comprehensive, multi-perspective view of the solar atmosphere that we connect with in situ measurement…

First Observation of a Polar Coronal Hole-like Fast Solar Wind Stream in the Sub-Alfvénic Solar Corona: an Analysis of Turbulence Properties

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Sujan Prasad Gautam, William H. Matthaeus +2

Parker Solar Probe, near its 23rd perihelion in March 2025, sampled an extended interval of sub-Alfvénic solar wind likely originating from a large equatorial coronal hole. At heli…

Direct Measurement of Polar Coronal Hole-like Solar Wind in its Acceleration Phase

Samuel T. Badman, Yeimy J. Rivera, Michael L. Stevens +38

The early evolution of fast polar coronal hole (PCH) solar wind remains largely unconstrained by in situ measurements. In March 2025, Parker Solar Probe (Parker) at its closest app…

UK White Paper on Space-based total solar eclipse observations: structure and dynamics of the solar atmosphere

Lucie M. Green, Nicola Baresi, Huw Morgan +19

Our Sun is uniquely placed to enable a detailed study of astrophysical plasmas and how they are governed by the magnetic fields that thread through them. On the one hand, magnetic…

Energy Evolution from the Chromosphere to the Heliosphere in the 2021 October 28 Solar Eruption

Katharine K. Reeves, Daniel B. Seaton, Cynthia Cattell +20

We perform a detailed study of the energetics for a well-observed solar eruption and flare that occurred on 28 October 2021. This event included a GOES class X1.0 flare, a global E…

Strong Prevalence of Hammerhead Velocity Distributions Close to the Heliospheric Current Sheet

Srijan Bharati Das, Jaye L. Verniero, Samuel T. Badman +13

The solar wind undergoes non-adiabatic heating as it travels away from the Sun. The velocity phase space distribution of non-equilibrium ions in the solar wind indicate a source of…

Conversion Layer Controls the Evolution of Magnetic Deflections Near the Alfven Surface

Dominic Payne, Mojtaba Akhavan-Tafti, Joshua Goodwill +10

We examine the statistics of Alfvenic deflections in both sub-Alfvenic and super-Alfvenic solar wind with particular focus on a common parameter that underlies the definition of sw…
