Linear Mode Decomposition in Magnetohydrodynamics Revisited
Zank, G. P.; Zhao, L. -L.; Telloni, D. +4 more
Small-amplitude fluctuations in the magnetized solar wind are measured typically by a single spacecraft. In the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) description, fluctuations are typically expressed in terms of the fundamental modes admitted by the system. An important question is how to resolve an observed set of fluctuations, typically plasma moments such…
Slow Solar Wind Connection Science during Solar Orbiter's First Close Perihelion Passage
D'Amicis, Raffaella; Teriaca, Luca; Hirzberger, Johann +76 more
The Slow Solar Wind Connection Solar Orbiter Observing Plan (Slow Wind SOOP) was developed to utilize the extensive suite of remote-sensing and in situ instruments on board the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission to answer significant outstanding questions regarding the origin and formation of the slow solar wind. The Slow Wind SOOP was designed to lin…
Unbiased CLEAN for STIX in Solar Orbiter
Volpara, Anna; Massa, Paolo; Piana, Michele +3 more
CLEAN is an iterative deconvolution method for radio and hard-X-ray solar imaging. In a specific step of its pipeline, CLEAN requires the convolution between an idealized version of the instrumental point-spread function (PSF), and a map collecting point sources located at positions from where most of the flaring radiation is emitted. This step ha…
Spectral Features of the Solar Transition Region and Chromospheric Lines at Flare Ribbons Observed with IRIS
Cheng, X.; Ding, M. D.; Li, Y. +2 more
We report on the spectral features of the Si IV λ1402.77, C II λ1334.53, and Mg II h or k lines, formed in the layers from the transition region to the chromosphere, in three two-ribbon flares (with X, M, and C class) observed with IRIS. All three lines show significant redshifts within the main flare ribbons, which mainly originate from the chrom…
A Data-constrained Scheme for the Reconstruction of Solar Wind Parameters in the Inner Heliosphere
Feng, Xueshang; Zhang, Man; Liu, Xiaojing +1 more
With the development of our industrial society, the reconstruction of solar wind parameters in the inner heliosphere becomes very important to understanding the interplanetary propagation of various types of space weather disturbance. However, the situ observations of solar wind parameters are only applicable to several points where spacecraft are…
