Direct observations of a complex coronal web driving highly structured slow solar wind

Chitta, L. P.; Seaton, D. B.; DeForest, C. E. +2 more

The solar wind consists of continuous streams of charged particles that escape into the heliosphere from the Sun, and is split into fast and slow components, with the fast wind emerging from the interiors of coronal holes. Near the ecliptic plane, the fast wind from low-latitude coronal holes is interspersed with a highly structured slow solar win…
