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 …

Slow solar wind: observations and modeling

L Abbo, L Ofman, SK Antiochos, VH Hansteen… - Space Science …, 2016 - Springer
While it is certain that the fast solar wind originates from coronal holes, where and how the
slow solar wind (SSW) is formed remains an outstanding question in solar physics even in …

Asteroids for gravitational-wave detection

MA Fedderke, PW Graham, S Rajendran - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
A major challenge for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the μ Hz band is engineering a
test mass (TM) with sufficiently low acceleration noise. We propose a GW detection concept …

Energetic charged particle measurements from Voyager 2 at the heliopause and beyond

SM Krimigis, RB Decker, EC Roelof, ME Hill… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
The long-anticipated encounter by Voyager 2 (V2) of the region between the heliosphere
and the very local interstellar medium (VLISM) occurred toward the end of 2018. Here, we …

Space-weathering of solar system bodies: A laboratory perspective

CJ Bennett, C Pirim, TM Orlando - Chemical reviews, 2013 - ACS Publications
In the past few years, several major space missions have been completed (eg, Deep Impact,
LCROSS, Chandrayaan-1, Stardust, Hayabusa), and a number of spacecraft are currently …

Seven years of imaging the global heliosphere with IBEX

DJ McComas, EJ Zirnstein, M Bzowski… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has now operated in space for 7 years
and returned nearly continuous observations that have led to scientific discoveries and …

Sun–heliosphere observation-based ionization rates model

JM Sokół, DJ McComas, M Bzowski… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The solar wind (SW) and the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation modulate fluxes of
interstellar and heliospheric particles inside the heliosphere both in time and in space …

A new 3D solar wind speed and density model based on interplanetary scintillation

C Porowski, M Bzowski… - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The solar wind (SW) is an outflow of the solar coronal plasma, which expands
supersonically throughout the heliosphere. SW particles interact by charge exchange with …

Global distribution of the solar wind speed reconstructed from improved tomographic analysis of interplanetary scintillation observations between 1985 and 2019

M Tokumaru, K Fujiki, M Kojima… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
