On the Slow Solar Wind
A theory for the origin of the slow solar wind is described. Recent papers have demonstrated that magnetic flux moves across coronal holes as a result of the interplay between the differential rotation of the photosphere and the non-radial expansion of the solar wind in more rigidly rotating coronal holes. This flux will be deposited at low latitudes and should reconnect with closed magnetic lo...
متن کاملTurbulent Spectra in the Solar Wind Plasma
Observations of interstellar scintillations at radio wavelengths reveal a Kolmogorovlike scaling of the electron density spectrum with a spectral slope of −5/3 over six decades in wavenumber space. A similar turbulent density spectrum in the solar wind plasma has been reported. The energy transfer process in the magnetized solar wind plasma over such extended length-scales remains an unresolved...
متن کاملSource Regions of the Slow Solar Wind
While the fast solar wind is nerally thought to originate from coronal holes, the ~, Oa% source of the slow solar wind is only known to be associated with the highly structured and — highly variable streamer belt. There is growing evidence from multiple-station intensity scintillation measurements of solar wind velocity — usually referred to as IPS for interplanetary scintillation— that the slo...
متن کاملObserved 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 کاملWhy Is the Fast Solar Wind Fast and the Slow Solar Wind Slow? a Survey of Geometrical Models
Four decades have gone by since the discovery that the solar wind at 1 AU seems to exist in two relatively distinct states: slow and fast. There is still no universal agreement concerning the primary physical cause of this apparently bimodal distribution, even in its simplest manifestation at solar minimum. In this presentation we review and extend a series of ideas that link the different stat...
