Capabilities of UV Coronagraphic Spectroscopy for Studying the Source Regions of Solar Energetic Particles and the Solar Wind
John L. Kohl, Steven R. Cranmer, Larry D. Gardner +3
We summarize the unique capabilities of UV coronagraphic spectroscopy for determining the detailed plasma properties (e.g., density, temperature, outflow speed, composition) of the…
Why is the Fast Solar Wind Fast and the Slow Solar Wind Slow? A Survey of Geometrical Models
Steven R. Cranmer
Four decades have gone by since the discovery that the solar wind at 1 AU seems to exist in two relatively distinct states: slow and fast. There is still no universal agreement con…
Coronal Heating versus Solar Wind Acceleration
Steven R. Cranmer
Parker's initial insights from 1958 provided a key causal link between the heating of the solar corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. However, we still do not know what fr…
New Insights into Solar Wind Physics from SOHO
Steven R. Cranmer
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) was launched in December 1995 with a suite of instruments designed to answer long-standing questions about the Sun's internal structur…
Observational Aspects of Wave Acceleration in Open Magnetic Regions
Steven R. Cranmer
This paper reviews the latest observational evidence for the existence of propagating waves in the open magnetic flux tubes of the solar corona. SOHO measurements have put tentativ…
Solar Wind Acceleration in Coronal Holes
Steven R. Cranmer
This paper reviews the current state of our understanding of high-speed solar wind acceleration in coronal holes. Observations by SOHO, coupled with interplanetary particle measure…
