A Steady-State Picture of Solar Wind Acceleration and Charge State Composition Derived from a Global Wave-Driven MHD Model

Rona Oran, Enrico Landi, Bart van der Holst +7

The higher charge states found in slow ($<$400km s${}^{-1}$) solar wind streams compared to fast streams have supported the hypothesis that the slow wind originates in closed coronal…
