The S-Web Origin of Composition Enhancement in the Slow-to-moderate Speed Solar Wind

Abstract: Connecting the solar wind observed throughout the heliosphere to its origins in the solar corona is one of the central aims of heliophysics. The variability in the magnetic field, bulk plasma, and heavy ion composition properties of the slow wind are thought to result from magnetic reconnection processes in the solar corona. We identify regions of enhanced variability and composition in the solar wind from 2003 April 15 to May 13 (Carrington Rotation 2002), observed by the Wind and Advanced Composition Explore… Show more

“…We note that the signatures of elevated helium abundances appear before the HCS crossing and not explicitly during the crossing, suggesting outflowing plasma at the edge of the streamer is enriched in helium and not specifically the current sheet itself, as has been reported in other studies (Rivera et al 2021;Lynch et al 2023).…”

“…The various heavy-ion features that remain imprinted in the plasma once it leaves the corona provide insight to processes active in the corona. Therefore, the ion and elemental composition measured throughout the heliosphere are important tracers of the eruption processes (Lynch et al 2011;Rakowski et al 2011;Laming et al 2023;Rivera et al 2023), solar-wind release and dynamic outflow (Landi et al 2012b;Scott et al 2022), and properties of the plasma's source region (Xu & Borovsky 2015;Zurbuchen et al 2016;Ervin et al 2023;Lynch et al 2023).…”

“…The origins and properties of the slow solar wind, however, are much more diverse. Suggested sources of slow wind include active regions (e.g., Sakao et al 2007;Edwards et al 2016;Harra et al 2023), helmet streamers and pseudostreamers (e.g., Wang et al 2000;Antiochos et al 2011;Lynch et al 2023), and coronal hole boundaries (e.g., Wang & Sheeley 1990;Wang et al 2000;Antonucci et al 2005;Woolley et al 2021). The exact nature of the slow solar wind is still under debate due to various complexities.…”
