Reimagining Heliophysics: A bold new vision for the next decade and beyond

Ian J. Cohen, Dan Baker, Jacob Bortnik +25

The field of Heliophysics has a branding problem. We need an answer to the question: ``What is Heliophysics\?'', the answer to which should clearly and succinctly defines our scien…

The S-Web Origin of Composition Enhancement in the Slow-to-Moderate Speed Solar Wind

B. J. Lynch, N. M. Viall, A. K. Higginson +3

Connecting the solar wind observed throughout the heliosphere to its origins in the solar corona is one of the central aims of heliophysics. The variability in the magnetic field,…

Direct observations of a complex coronal web driving highly structured slow solar wind

L. P. Chitta, D. B. Seaton, C. Downs +2

The solar wind consists of continuous streams of charged particles that escape into the heliosphere from the Sun, and is split into fast and slow components, with the fast wind eme…

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 Dynamic Coupling of Streamers and Pseudostreamers to the Heliosphere

V. Aslanyan, D. I. Pontin, A. K. Higginson +3

The slow solar wind is generally believed to result from the interaction of open and closed coronal magnetic flux at streamers and pseudostreamers. We use 3-dimensional magnetohydr…

Linking the Sun to the Heliosphere Using Composition Data and Modelling. A Test Case with a Coronal Jet

Susanna Parenti, Iulia Chifu, Giulio Del Zanna +13

Our understanding of the formation and evolution of the corona and the heliosphere is linked to our capability of properly interpreting the data from remote sensing and in-situ obs…

Relating streamer flows to density and magnetic structures at the Parker Solar Probe

Alexis P. Rouillard, Athanasios Kouloumvakos, Angelos Vourlidas +34

The physical mechanisms that produce the slow solar wind are still highly debated. Parker Solar Probe's (PSP's) second solar encounter provided a new opportunity to relate in situ…

Magnetic Structures at the Boundary of the Closed Corona: Interpretation of S-web Arcs

Roger B. Scott, David I. Pontin, Anthony R. Yeates +1

The topology of magnetic fields near the open-closed flux boundary in the Sun's corona is an important influencing factor in the process of interchange reconnection, whereby plasma…

Structured Slow Solar Wind Variability: Streamer-blob Flux Ropes and Torsional Alfvén Waves

Aleida K. Higginson, Benjamin J. Lynch

The slow solar wind exhibits strong variability on timescales from minutes to days, likely related to magnetic reconnection processes in the extended solar corona. Higginson2017b p…

The Formation of Heliospheric Arcs of Slow Solar Wind

A. K. Higginson, S. K. Antiochos, C. R. DeVore +2

A major challenge in solar and heliospheric physics is understanding how highly localized regions, far smaller than 1 degree at the Sun, are the source of solar-wind structures spa…

Dynamics of Coronal-Hole Boundaries

A. K. Higginson, S. K. Antiochos, C. R. DeVore +2

Remote and in-situ observations strongly imply that the slow solar wind consists of plasma from the hot, closed-field corona that is released onto open magnetic field lines. The Se…
