Alfvénic solar wind intervals observed by Solar Orbiter: Exploiting the capability of the SWA plasma suite and source region investigation
R. D'Amicis, J. M. Raines, S. Benella +32
Fast and slow solar wind have distinct properties linked to their solar sources.Alfvénic slow wind complicates the usual speed-based classification, especially at intermediate spe…

The Evolution of Heavy Ion Abundances with Solar Activity
B. L. Alterman, Y. J. Rivera, S. T. Lepri +2
When observed at 1 AU, slow solar wind is typically considered to have originated in source regions with magnetic topologies that are intermittently open to the heliosphere. Fast w…

Differentiating the acceleration mechanisms in the slow and Alfvénic slow solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, J. L. Verniero +18
In the corona, plasma is accelerated to hundreds of kilometers per second, and heated to temperatures hundreds of times hotter than the Sun's surface, before it escapes to form the…
