Solar Wind Models from the Chromosphere to 1 AU

Velli, Marco; Hansteen, Viggo H.

Recent models of the fast solar wind are characterized by low coronal electron temperatures while proton, α-particle, and minor ion temperatures are expected to be quite high and generally anisotropic, including large temperatures perpendicular to the magnetic field and parallel beams. This entails that the electric field should be relatively unim…
