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…

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…

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…

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…

Near subsonic solar wind outflow from an active region

Tamar Ervin, Stuart D. Bale, Samuel T. Badman +10

During Parker Solar Probe (Parker) Encounter 15 (E15), we observe an 18-hour period of near subsonic ( 1) and sub-Alfvénic (SA), <<< 1, slow speed…

Compositional metrics of fast and slow Alfvenic solar wind emerging from coronal holes and their boundaries

Tamar Ervin, Stuart D. Bale, Samuel T. Badman +7

We seek to understand the composition and variability of fast (FSW) and slow Alfvenic solar wind (SASW) emerging from coronal holes (CH). We leverage an opportune conjunction betwe…
