Open AccessInterchange reconnection as the source of the fast solar wind within coronal holes
The fast solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from deep within regions of open magnetic field on the Sun called ‘coronal holes’. The energy source responsible for accelerating the plasma is widely ...

Particle Detector (PD) Experiment of the Korea Space Environment Monitor (KSEM) Aboard Geostationary Satellite GK2A
The Particle Detector (PD) experiment aboard the geostationary satellite GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK2A) measures populations of electrons and positive ions in the Earth’s geostationary orbit at a geographic longitude of 1...

Alfvénic velocity spikes and rotational flows in the near-Sun solar wind
The prediction of a supersonic solar wind1 was first confirmed by spacecraft near Earth2,3 and later by spacecraft at heliocentric distances as small as 62 solar radii4. These missions showed that plasma accelera...

Highly structured slow solar wind emerging from an equatorial coronal hole
During the solar minimum, when the Sun is at its least active, the solar wind1,2 is observed at high latitudes as a predominantly fast (more than 500 kilometres per second), highly Alfvénic rarefied stream of pla...

Open AccessThe IMPACT Solar Wind Electron Analyzer (SWEA): Reconstruction of the SWEA Transmission Function by Numerical Simulation and Data Analysis
The IMPACT SWEA instruments on board the twin STEREO spacecraft detect the solar wind electrons with energies between 1 and 2000 eV. The instruments provide 3-dimensional velocity distributions, pitch angle di...

Open AccessTemporal Evolution of the Solar-Wind Electron Core Density at Solar Minimum by Correlating SWEA Measurements from STEREO A and B
The twin STEREO spacecraft provide a unique tool to study the temporal evolution of the solar-wind properties in the ecliptic since their longitudinal separation increases with time. We derive the characterist...

The Apparent Layered Structure of the Heliospheric Current Sheet: Multi-Spacecraft Observations
Multiple current sheet crossings are ubiquitous features of the solar wind associated with high-beta plasma sheets, notably during the passage of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS). As the HCS is being conve...

Observation of a Complex Solar Wind Reconnection Exhaust from Spacecraft Separated by over 1800 R E
We analyze Wind, ACE, and STEREO (ST-A and ST-B) plasma and magnetic field data in the vicinity of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossed by all spacecraft between 22:15 UT on 31 March and 01:25 UT on 1 Apr...

Crossing the Heliospheric Current Sheet
The heliospheric current sheet (HCS), the largest coherent structure in the heliosphere, is a wavy surface separating the two opposite magnetic polarity hemispheres of the heliosphere. Joint WIND magnetic fiel...

Negative ions in the coma of comet Halley
IN March 1986, the Giotto spacecraft encountered comet Halley, approaching to within ∼600 km of the nucleus. Results from this encounter have shown that the inner coma contains a mixture of cometary neutral ga...
