چکیده
We present EUV solar observations showing evidence for omnipresent jetting activity driven by small-scale magnetic reconnection at the base of corona. argue that physical mechanism heats and drives wind its source is ubiquitous in form (i.e., a.k.a. jetlets). This activity, like heating coronal plasma, are regardless cycle phase. Each event arises from opposite polarity fields producing a short-lived jet hot plasma Alfv\'en waves into The discrete nature these jetlet events leads to intermittent outflows corona, which homogenize as they propagate away Sun wind. discovery establishes importance stellar atmospheres understanding phenomena such acceleration. Based on previous analyses linking switchbacks network, we also new might provide link between corona switchback phenomenon. These need be put bigger picture role diverse atmosphere.

April 2000 magnetic storm: Solar wind driver and magnetospheric response
[1] On 4 April 2000, a coronal mass ejection (CME) took place close to the western limb of the Sun. The shock front of the CME hit the Earth’s magnetosphere on 6 April. A strong interplanetary southward BZ event in the sheath region caused a magnetic storm that was the second strongest in the year 2000 if quantified by the peak of the Dst index. We have analyzed this sequence of events using ob...
متن کاملAcceleration of the solar wind as a result of the reconnection of open magnetic flux with coronal loops
[1] There are compelling observations of a clear anticorrelation between solar wind flow speed and coronal electron temperature, as determined from solar wind ionic charge states. A simple theory is presented which can account for these observations, including the functional form of the correlation: Solar wind flow speed squared varies essentially linearly as the inverse of the coronal electron...
متن کاملMagnetic Reconnection in Sheared Solar Magnetic Arcades
The evolution of solar magnetic arcades is investigated with the use of MHD simulations imposing resistivity on sheared magnetic elds. It is found that there is a critical amount of shear, over which magnetic reconnection can take place in an arcade-like eld geometry to create a magnetic island. The process leading to reconnection cannot be solely attributed to a tearing instability, but rather...
متن کاملParticle acceleration and reconnection in the solar wind
An emerging paradigm for the dissipation of magnetic turbulence in the supersonic solar wind is via localized quasi2D small-scale magnetic island reconnection processes. An advection-diffusion transport equation for a nearly isotropic particle distribution describes particle transport and energization in a region of interacting magnetic islands [1; 2]. The dominant charged particle energization...
متن کاملCatastrophic eruption of magnetic flux rope in the corona and solar wind with and without magnetic reconnection
It is generally believed that the magnetic free energy accumulated in the corona serves as a main energy source for solar explosions such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In the framework of the flux rope catastrophe model for CMEs, the energy may be abruptly released either by an ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) catastrophe, which belongs to a global magnetic topological instability of the sys...
