Solar Orbiter: Mission and spacecraft design

C. Garcia Marirrodriga et al.

Summary: The Solar Orbiter's main scientific goal is to address the central question in heliophysics: how does the Sun create and control the heliosphere? It carries ten scientific instruments towards the innermost regions of the Solar System, reaching as close as 0.28 AU from the Sun. The spacecraft's orbital inclination will be progressively increased to reach higher solar latitudes, enabling detailed studies of the polar regions of the Sun for the first time.

Magnetic reconnection as a mechanism to produce multiple thermal proton populations and beams locally in the solar wind

B. Lavraud et al.

Summary: Spacecraft data revealed that multiple near-thermal proton populations are produced locally in the solar wind by magnetic reconnection. The study highlights the association of multiple thermal proton populations and beams with magnetic reconnection in the solar wind.

Multiscale views of an Alfvenic slow solar wind: 3D velocity distribution functions observed by the Proton-Alpha Sensor of Solar Orbiter

P. Louarn et al.

Summary: This study focuses on analyzing the kinetic properties of the proton population in the Alfvenic slow solar wind, and the possible link with propagating magnetic structures. The research shows a remarkable correlation between magnetic and velocity components, and documents the variability of the proton VDFs shape in relation to the propagation of magnetic structures.

On Alfvenic Slow Wind: A Journey From the Earth Back to the Sun

R. D'Amicis et al.

Summary: Comparative studies have shown differences between fast and slow solar wind streams, but slow solar wind with Alfvenic characteristics can be similar to fast solar wind. Flow speed alone is not enough to describe the plasma state of solar wind.

Solar wind Alfvenicity during solar cycle 23 and 24 Perspective for future observations with Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter

R. D'Amicis et al.

Summary: The study compares the Alfvenic characteristics of solar wind in different phases of solar cycles 23 and 24, focusing on the Alfvenic slow solar wind. The results show that the Alfvenic slow solar wind is more frequently observed during the maximum of solar activity.

A powerful machine learning technique to extract proton core, beam, and α-particle parameters from velocity distribution functions in space plasmas

D. Vech et al.

Summary: The study developed a machine learning tool that can extract proton core, beam, and alpha-particle parameters using images of VDFs. A database of synthetic VDFs was generated to train a convolutional neural network to infer particle populations' speed and density, achieving smaller errors compared to traditional fitting algorithms. The developed tool has the potential to revolutionize particle measurements processing by computing more accurate parameters.

First Solar Orbiter observation of the Alfvenic slow wind and identification of its solar source

R. D'Amicis et al.

Summary: The study focuses on characterising an Alfvenic slow solar wind interval observed by Solar Orbiter between 14 and 18 July 2020 at a heliocentric distance of 0.64 AU. Analysis is based on plasma moments and magnetic field measurements, comparing different parameters and conducting spectral analysis to highlight features and waves. Solar Orbiter's magnetic connectivity to solar sources was reconstructed via ballistic and PFSS models.
