Tracking Nonradial Outflows in Extreme Ultraviolet and White Light Solar Images

Nathalia Alzate et al.

Summary: Understanding the dynamics of the solar corona and its connectivity to the heliosphere is crucial. This research proposes a method to mitigate the challenges of interpreting remote sensing observations of the middle corona. It utilizes advanced image processing techniques to generate nonradial height-time profiles of outflows.

Interchange reconnection as the source of the fast solar wind within coronal holes

S. D. Bale et al.

Summary: The fast solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from coronal holes on the Sun and is believed to be accelerated by magnetic reconnection mechanisms such as wave heating and interchange reconnection. Measurements from the Parker Solar Probe provide strong evidence for the interchange reconnection mechanism, showing imprints of supergranulation structure in the solar wind and the presence of magnetic switchbacks and bursty wind streams. Computer simulations support these observations and suggest that the reconnection is collisionless and drives the fast wind through both plasma pressure and radial Alfvenic flow bursts.

Slow wind belt in the quiet solar corona

E. Antonucci et al.

Summary: The slow solar wind belt in the quiet corona, observed with the Metis coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter, is formed by a slow and dense wind stream running along the coronal current sheet, reaching speeds of 150-190 km/s at 6.8 R-?. This slow stream is separated by regions of high velocity shear from faster streams symmetrically located relative to the current sheet. The characteristics of the slow wind zone are discussed in relation to the expansion factor of open magnetic field lines and the presence of quasi-separatrix layers (S-web).

Periodic Solar Wind Structures Observed in Measurements of Elemental and Ionic Composition in situ at L1

Irena Gershkovich et al.

Summary: Mesoscale periodic structures observed in solar wind plasma can serve as a diagnostic tool for understanding the formation of the solar wind. Analysis of four events with such structures reveals variations in elemental abundance, mass dependencies, and charge state, which are linked to temporal or spatial variations in solar source regions and provide constraints on the solar wind formation mechanisms.

The Solar Minimum Eclipse of 2019 July 2. II. The First Absolute Brightness Measurements and MHD Model Predictions of Fe x, xi, and xiv out to 3.4 R ⊙

Benjamin Boe et al.

Summary: In this study, we present the spatial distribution of the brightness of the Fe x, Fe xi, and Fe xiv visible coronal emission lines observed during the total solar eclipse on July 2, 2019. By comparing the observed line brightnesses and inferred electron temperature with the Predictive Science Inc. magnetohydrodynamic model, we find that the model predicts the Fe lines rather well, but slightly underestimates the electron temperature.

Observation of a Magnetic Switchback in the Solar Corona

Daniele Telloni et al.

Summary: This study presents the first evidence of switchbacks in the solar corona using observations from the Metis coronagraph on Solar Orbiter. It suggests that interchange reconnection may be the origin of switchbacks, and the initiation of switchbacks could also indicate the origin of slow solar wind.

Mesoscale Structure in the Solar Wind

N. M. Viall et al.

Summary: Structures in the solar wind come from two basic mechanisms: those directly injected or imposed by the Sun, and those formed en route as the solar wind flows outward and fills the heliosphere. Competition between structures at different scales leads to complex structuring and dynamics within the solar wind.

The first coronal mass ejection observed in both visible-light and UV H I Ly-α channels of the Metis coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter

V Andretta et al.

Summary: Observations by Metis of a CME reveal that most features seen in visible-light images are also visible in Ly-alpha images, although the latter appear more structured. The estimated expansion velocity of the event is below 140 km/s, suggesting Doppler dimming effects do not significantly reduce Ly-alpha emission from the CME.

Nathalia Alzate et al.

Summary: A method is presented to isolate time-varying components from coronagraph and extreme ultraviolet images, enabling tracking features from low to high corona. The method proves crucial in linking features in the low and high corona, and in measuring velocities of small-scale features, providing insights into solar minimum period.

The Color and Brightness of the F-corona Inferred from the 2019 July 2 Total Solar Eclipse

Benjamin Boe et al.

Summary: By analyzing data from a total solar eclipse, researchers were able to separate emissions from the K- and F-corona, with results matching observations and model predictions. Unexpectedly, the brightness of the F-corona in the lower corona was found to be higher than anticipated, suggesting partial polarization and challenging previous assumptions.

First light observations of the solar wind in the outer corona with the Metis coronagraph

M. Romoli et al.

Summary: This study investigates the wind in the solar corona using observations from UVCS-SOHO and Metis on Solar Orbiter, revealing different wind flow velocities in specific regions and identifying the location where slow wind flow is observed. The findings provide insights into the dynamics of the solar corona and the transition between slow and fast wind speeds.
