Observed Associations between the Solar Interior, Corona, and Solar Wind
Using polarized brightness (pB) measurements made by the High Altitude Observatory (HAO) Mauna Loa Mk III K-coronameter, we investigate the daily changes of path-integrated density at 1.15 R,. During 1996, when simultaneous pB and helioseismology data were available, we find that the correlation of pB (at zero time lag and 207 latitude lag) varies with latitude in the same way that the subsurfa...
متن کاملIon Cyclotron Damping in the Solar Corona and Solar Wind
The solar corona is the hot, ionized outer atmosphere of the Sun. Coronal plasma expands into interplanetary space as a supersonic bulk outflow known as the solar wind. This tenuous and unbounded medium is a unique laboratory for the study of kinetic theory in a nearly collisionless plasma, as well as magnetohydrodynamic waves, shocks, and jets. Particle velocity distributions in the solar wind...
متن کاملComposition Variations in the Solar Corona and Solar Wind
Order of magnitude variations in relative elemental abundances are observed in the solar corona and solar wind. The instruments aboard SOHO make it possible to explore these variations in detail to determine whether they arise near the solar surface or higher in the corona. A substantial enhancement of low First Ionization Potential (FIP) elements relative to high FIP elements is often seen in ...
متن کاملWIND observations of coherent electrostatic waves in the solar wind
The time domain sampler (TDS) experiment on WIND measures electric and magnetic wave forms with a sampling rate which reaches 120 000 points per second. We analyse here observations made in the solar wind near the Lagrange point L1. In the range of frequencies above the proton plasma frequency fpi and smaller than or of the order of the electron plasma frequency fpe, TDS observed three kinds of...
متن کاملPrimary Flows, the Solar Wind and the Corona
Based on the conjectured existence of primary solar emanations (plasma flows from the solar surface), a model for the Origin of the Fast Solar Wind, and the creation and heating of the coronal structures is developed. Preliminary results reproduce many of the salient observational features.
