Ambipolar electric field and potential in the solar wind estimated from electron velocity distribution functions

Laura Bercic, Milan Maksimovic, Jasper S. Halekas +17

The solar wind escapes from the solar corona and is accelerated, over a short distance, to its terminal velocity. The energy balance associated with this acceleration remains poorl…
