The Non-Eruptive Reconfiguration of a Quiescent Filament After a Nearby Active Region Emergence
James McKevitt, Louise Harra, Gherardo Valori +13
The unpredictability of solar filament eruptions presents major challenges for forecasting space weather, as such eruptions frequently drive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that impa…

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…
