In Situ Analysis of Heliospheric Current Sheet Propagation

Abstract: The heliospheric current sheet (HCS) is an important structure not only for understanding the physics of interplanetary space but also for space weather prediction. We investigate the differences of the HCS arrival time between three spacecraft separated in heliolongitude, heliolatitude and radial distance from the Sun (STEREO A, STEREO B, and ACE) to understand the key factors controlling the HCS propagation. By assuming that the source of the solar wind does not evolve except for the effects of solar rotatio… Show more

“…Although the orientations generally match the direction expected from the HCS, they are much steeper. Burton et al 1994;Peng et al 2017). Unlike these studies, we measured the local orientation to be steeper than the relatively flat HCS seen with in situ observations and the PFSS model.…”

“…Despite its simplicity, PFSS models have been shown to compare well with more sophisticated numerical models (Riley et al 2006), as well as in situ measurements at 1 AU (Jian et al 2015) and closer to the Sun (Badman et al 2020;Panasenco et al 2020). The local inclination of the HCS predicted by the PFSS model has also been shown to be consistent with in situ measurements except in those cases where transients, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are present (Klein & Burlaga 1980;Burton et al 1994;Peng et al 2017). In situ manifestations of CMEs are commonly observed around HCS crossings where it has been argued that they carry the sector boundary, rather than being structures that drape or push the HCS aside (Gosling et al 1987a;Crooker et al 1993;Crooker & Intriligator 1996;Forsyth et al 1997).…”

“…SFRs in the vicinity of HCSs only show type B and type D distributions. Solar wind in the vicinity of HCSs is generally slow speed (e.g., Y. Liu et al, ; Peng et al, ), which generally shows low Q <Fe> (Abbo et al, ; Lepri et al, ). As the charge states of heavy ions are frozen‐in below a few solar radii, Q <Fe> is not expected to be changing in the interplanetary medium.…”

“…We select seven HCSs observed by all three spacecraft from the list of 35 HCSs identified by Peng et al (2017) The same HCS sweeps ACE and the twin STEREO spacecraft at different times. In order to study the global shape of the HCS, we need to shift the measurements to one time using the solar wind speed.…”
