The Non-Eruptive Reconfiguration of a Quiescent Filament After a Nearby Active Region Emergence

James McKevitt, Louise Harra, Gherardo Valori +13

The unpredictability of solar filament eruptions presents major challenges for forecasting space weather, as such eruptions frequently drive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that impa…

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…

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…

Mixed Source Region Signatures Inside Magnetic Switchback Patches Inferred by Heavy Ion Diagnostics

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +13

Since Parker Solar Probe's (Parker's) first perihelion pass at the Sun, large amplitude Alfvén waves grouped in patches have been observed near the Sun throughout the mission. Seve…

In situ observations of large amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +16

After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements fr…
