Kinetic-based macro-modeling of the solar wind at large heliocentric distances: Kappa electrons at the exobase
Alexander Vinogradov, Marian Lazar, Ioannis Zouganelis +2
Recent evidence from Parker Solar Probe on the suprathermal electrons with Kappa-type velocity distributions in the outer corona has revived interest in the kinetic-based macro-mod…

A Kinetic Model of Solar Wind Acceleration Driven by Ambipolar Electric Potential and Velocity-Space Diffusion
Maximilien Péters de Bonhome, Viviane Pierrard, Fabio Bacchini
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations have revealed that most of the solar wind acceleration occurs very close to the Sun. This acceleration is partly due to the global electric po…
