Interchange reconnection as the source of the fast solar wind within coronal holes

Interchange reconnection as the source of the fast solar wind within coronal holes — Paper Interchange reconnection as the source of the fast solar wind within coronal holes published in Nature. The fast solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from deep within regions of open magnetic field on

Integrating observations and measurements from Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, and other space- and ground-based observatories

Integrating observations and measurements from Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, and other space- and ground-based observatories — The launch of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) in 2018, followed by Solar Orbiter (SO) in February 2020, has opened a new window in the exploration of solar magnetic activity and the origin of the heliosphere.

Exploring Solar Wind Origins and Connecting Plasma Flows from the Parker Solar Probe to 1 au

Exploring Solar Wind Origins and Connecting Plasma Flows from the Parker Solar Probe to 1 au — The magnetic field measurements of the FIELDS instrument on the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have shown intensities, throughout its first solar encounter, that require a very low source surface (SS) height to be reconciled with

Large-scale Magnetic Funnels in the Solar Corona

Large-scale Magnetic Funnels in the Solar Corona — We describe open coronal magnetic fields with a specific geometry - large-scale coronal magnetic funnels - that are found to play an important role in coronal dynamics. Coronal magnetic funnels can be attributed to three

Observations of Solar Wind from Earth-directed Coronal Pseudostreamers

Observations of Solar Wind from Earth-directed Coronal Pseudostreamers — Low-speed (<450 km s-1) solar wind is widely considered to originate from streamer loops that intermittently release their contents into the heliosphere, in contrast to high-speed wind, which has its source in large coronal holes.

Morphology of Pseudostreamers and Solar Wind Properties

Morphology of Pseudostreamers and Solar Wind Properties — The solar dynamo and photospheric convection lead to three main types of structures extending from the solar surface into the corona - active regions, solar filaments (prominences when observed at the limb) and coronal holes.

Observations and Analysis of the Non-Radial Propagation of Coronal Mass Ejections Near the Sun

Observations and Analysis of the Non-Radial Propagation of Coronal Mass Ejections Near the Sun — The trajectories of coronal mass ejection (CME) are often observed to deviate from radial propagation from the source while within the coronagraph field of view (R <15 - 30 R_{sun}). To better understand nonradial propagation

Current Sheets Formation in Tangled Coronal Magnetic Fields

Current Sheets Formation in Tangled Coronal Magnetic Fields — We investigate the dynamical evolution of magnetic fields in closed regions of solar and stellar coronae. To understand under which conditions current sheets form, we examine dissipative and ideal reduced magnetohydrodynamic models in Cartesian geometry,
