The evolution of the solar wind

AA Vidotto - Living reviews in solar physics, 2021 - Springer
How has the solar wind evolved to reach what it is today? In this review, I discuss the long-
term evolution of the solar wind, including the evolution of observed properties that are …

Origins of the ambient solar wind: implications for space weather

SR Cranmer, SE Gibson, P Riley - Space Science Reviews, 2017 - Springer
The Sun's outer atmosphere is heated to temperatures of millions of degrees, and solar
plasma flows out into interplanetary space at supersonic speeds. This paper reviews our …

Picoflare jets power the solar wind emerging from a coronal hole on the Sun

LP Chitta, AN Zhukov, D Berghmans, H Peter, S Parenti… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Coronal holes are areas on the Sun with open magnetic field lines. They are a source region
of the solar wind, but how the wind emerges from coronal holes is not known. We observed …

Alfvén wave solar model (AWSoM): coronal heating

B van der Holst, IV Sokolov, X Meng, M Jin… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a new version of the Alfvén wave solar model, a global model from the upper
chromosphere to the corona and the heliosphere. The coronal heating and solar wind …

Prevalence of small-scale jets from the networks of the solar transition region and chromosphere

H Tian, EE DeLuca, SR Cranmer, B De Pontieu… - Science, 2014 - science.org
As the interface between the Sun's photosphere and corona, the chromosphere and
transition region play a key role in the formation and acceleration of the solar wind …

Turbulent generation of magnetic switchbacks in the Alfvénic solar wind

M Shoda, BDG Chandran… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
One of the most important early results from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is the ubiquitous
presence of magnetic switchbacks, whose origin is under debate. Using a three-dimensional …

Magnetohydrodynamic waves in open coronal structures

D Banerjee, S Krishna Prasad, V Pant… - Space Science …, 2021 - Springer
Modern observatories have revealed the ubiquitous presence of magnetohydrodynamic
waves in the solar corona. The propagating waves (in contrast to the standing waves) are …

Extended MHD modeling of the steady solar corona and the solar wind

TI Gombosi, B van der Holst, WB Manchester… - Living reviews in solar …, 2018 - Springer
The history and present state of large-scale magnetohydrodynamic modeling of the solar
corona and the solar wind with steady or quasi-steady coronal physics is reviewed. We put …

Transverse energy injection scales at the base of the solar corona

R Sharma, RJ Morton - Nature Astronomy, 2023 - nature.com
Alfvén wave turbulence models lie at the heart of many investigations into the winds and
extreme-ultraviolet and X-ray emission from cool, solar-like stars. The models provide …

[HTML][HTML] Stirring the base of the solar wind: On heat transfer and vortex formation

AJ Finley, AS Brun, M Carlsson, M Szydlarski… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. Current models of the solar wind must approximate (or ignore) the small-scale
dynamics within the solar atmosphere; however, these are likely important in shaping the …
