Direct observations of a complex coronal web driving highly structured slow solar wind

Abstract The solar wind consists of continuous streams charged particles that escape into the heliosphere from Sun, and is split fast slow components, with emerging interiors coronal holes. Near ecliptic plane, low-latitude holes interspersed a highly structured wind, source regions drivers which are poorly understood. Here we report extreme-ultraviolet observations reveal spatially complex web magnetized plasma structures persistently interact reconnect in middle corona. Coronagraphic white-light images show concurrent emergence over these structures. With advanced global magnetohydrodynamics models, demonstrate observed direct imprint magnetic separatrix (S-web). By revealing dynamic portion S-web, our open window important middle-coronal processes appear to play key role driving wind.
