Coronal hole picoflare jets are progenitors of both fast and Alfvénic slow solar wind

L. P. Chitta, Z. Huang, R. D'Amicis +19

Solar wind, classified by its bulk speed and the Alfvénic nature of its fluctuations, generates the heliosphere. The elusive physical processes responsible for the generation of th…

Undetected Minority-polarity Flux as the Missing Link in Coronal Heating

Y. -M. Wang

During the last few decades, the most widely favored models for coronal heating have involved the in situ dissipation of energy, with footpoint shuffling giving rise to multiple cu…

Magnetograph Saturation and the Open Flux Problem

Y. -M. Wang, R. K. Ulrich, J. W. Harvey

Extrapolations of line-of-sight photospheric field measurements predict radial interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) strengths that are factors of ~2--4 too low. To address this "ope…

Coronal Mass Ejections and the Solar Cycle Variation of the Sun's Open Flux

Y. -M. Wang, N. R. Sheeley

The strength of the radial component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), which is a measure of the Sun's total open flux, is observed to vary by roughly a factor of two ove…

Further Evidence for Looplike Fine Structure inside "Unipolar" Active Region Plages

Y. -M. Wang, I. Ugarte-Urra, J. W. Reep

Earlier studies using extreme-ultraviolet images and line-of-sight magnetograms from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) have suggested that active region (AR) plages and strong n…

Observations of Slow Solar Wind from Equatorial Coronal Holes

Y. -M. Wang, Y. -K. Ko

Because of its distinctive compositional properties and variability, low-speed ( km s) solar wind is widely believed to originate from coronal streamers, unlik…
