The Role of Turbulence in Coronal Heating and Solar Wind Expansion
S. R. Cranmer, M. Asgari-Targhi, M. P. Miralles +4
Plasma in the Sun's hot corona expands into the heliosphere as a supersonic and highly magnetized solar wind. This paper provides an overview of our current understanding of how th…
Suprathermal Electrons in the Solar Corona: Can Nonlocal Transport Explain Heliospheric Charge States?
Steven R. Cranmer
There have been several ideas proposed to explain how the Sun's corona is heated and how the solar wind is accelerated. Some models assume that open magnetic field lines are heated…
Ensemble Simulations of Proton Heating in the Solar Wind via Turbulence and Ion Cyclotron Resonance
Steven R. Cranmer
Protons in the solar corona and heliosphere exhibit anisotropic velocity distributions, violation of magnetic moment conservation, and a general lack of thermal equilibrium with th…
The Solar Corona as probed by Comet Lovejoy (C/2011 W3)
J. C. Raymond, P. I. McCauley, S. R. Cranmer +1
EUV images of Comet Lovejoy (C/2011 W3) from the AIA show striations related to the magnetic field structure in both open and closed magnetic regions. The brightness contrast impli…
Turbulence-Driven Coronal Heating and Improvements to Empirical Forecasting of the Solar Wind
Lauren N. Woolsey, Steven R. Cranmer
Forecasting models of the solar wind often rely on simple parameterizations of the magnetic field that ignore the effects of the full magnetic field geometry. In this paper, we pre…
