Active Region Contributions to the Solar Wind over Multiple Solar Cycles

نویسندگان

چکیده

Both coronal holes and active regions are source of the solar wind. The distribution these structures across both space time is well known, but it unclear how much each contributes to In this study we use photospheric magnetic field maps observed over past four cycles estimate what fraction open flux rooted in regions, a proxy for all wind originating regions. We find that fractional contribution varies between 30% 80% at any one during maximum negligible minimum, showing strong correlation with sunspot number. While typically confined latitudes $\pm$30$^{\circ}$ corona, they produce can reach up $\pm$60$^{\circ}$. Their also correlates mass ejection rate, highly variable, changing by $\pm$20% on monthly timescales within individual maxima. speculate variations could be driven ejections causing reconfigurations sub-monthly timescales.

Sources of solar wind over the solar activity cycle

Fast solar wind has been recognized, about 40 years ago, to originate in polar coronal holes (CHs), that, since then, have been identified with sources of recurrent high speed wind streams. As of today, however, there is no general consensus about whether there are, within CHs, preferential locations where the solar wind is accelerated. Knowledge of slow wind sources is far from complete as wel...

Solar Wind Plasma Parameter Variability Across Solar Cycles 23 and 24: From Turbulence to Extremes

Solar wind variability spans a wide range of amplitudes and timescales, from turbulent fluctuations to the 11 year solar cycle. We apply the data quantile-quantile (DQQ) method to NASA/Wind observations spanning solar cycles 23 and 24, to study how the uniqueness of each cycle maximum and minimummanifests in the changing statistical distribution of plasma parameters in fast and slow solar wind....

The source region of the fast solar wind

We discuss how the lower corona may be connected to the chromospheric network pattern throughmagnetic funnels at the boundaries of the chromospheric network. At the feet of these funnels are located thin ionizing layers. The steady-state flow and temperature structure in the funnels is analyzed on the basis of the continuity of downward electron heat flux from the coronal base and the upward ad...

Self-similar signature of the active solar corona within the inertial range of solar-wind turbulence.

We quantify the scaling of magnetic energy density in the inertial range of solar-wind turbulence seen in situ at 1 AU with respect to solar activity. At solar maximum, when the coronal magnetic field is dynamic and topologically complex, we find self-similar scaling in the solar wind, whereas at solar minimum, when the coronal fields are more ordered, we find multifractality. This quantifies t...
