Observations of the Polarized Solar Corona during the Annular Eclipse of October 14, 2023

Daniel B. Seaton, Amir Caspi, Nathalia Alzate +10

We present results of a dual eclipse expedition to observe the solar corona from two sites during the annular solar eclipse of 2023 October 14, using a novel coronagraph designed t…

The Sun's Alfven Surface: Recent Insights and Prospects for the Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)

Steven R. Cranmer, Rohit Chhiber, Chris R. Gilly +7

The solar wind is the extension of the Sun's hot and ionized corona, and it exists in a state of continuous expansion into interplanetary space. The radial distance at which the wi…

Self-Similar Outflows at the Source of the Fast Solar Wind: A Smoking Gun of Multiscale Impulsive Reconnection?

Vadim M. Uritsky, Judith T. Karpen, Nour E. Raouafi +3

We present results of a quantitative analysis of structured plasma outflows above a polar coronal hole observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly onboard the Solar Dynamics Obser…

New Evidence on the Origin of Solar Wind Microstreams/Switchbacks

Pankaj Kumar, Judith T. Karpen, Vadim M. Uritsky +4

Microstreams are fluctuations in the solar wind speed and density associated with polarity-reversing folds in the magnetic field (also denoted switchbacks). Despite their long heri…

Magnetic Reconnection as the Driver of the Solar Wind

Nour E. Raouafi, G. Stenborg, D. B. Seaton +16

We present EUV solar observations showing evidence for omnipresent jetting activity driven by small-scale magnetic reconnection at the base of the solar corona. We argue that the p…
