Influence of Active Regions on Solar Wind Characteristics at the Cycle Maximum

Reva, A. A.; Kirichenko, A. S.; Ulyanov, A. S. +2 more

Active regions (ARs) on the Sun are discussed as a possible source of the slow solar wind (SW) whose origin is still a subject of debates. In this paper we present experimental evidence for the possible influence of ARs on the SW speed and temperature near the maximum of solar cycle 23 (2000-2002). We have studied separately the characteristics of…
