The source region of solar wind plasma is observed to be directly reflected in the compositional pattern of both elemental
and charge state compositions. Slow solar wind associated with streamers shows higher freeze-in temperatures and larger FIP
enhancements than coronal hole associated wind. Also, the variability of virtually all compositional parameters is much higher
for slow solar wind compared to coronal hole associated wind. We show that these compositional patterns persist even though
stream-stream interactions complicate the identification based on in situ plasma parameters.

The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is a revolutionary mission that simultaneously investigates two of the most important overarching issues in Heliophysics today: the acceleration of energetic particles and interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium. While seemingly disparate, these are intimately coupled because particles accelerated in the inner heliosphere play critical roles in the outer heliospheric interaction. Selected by NASA in 2018, IMAP is planned to launch in 2024. The IMAP spacecraft is a simple sun-pointed spinner in orbit about the Sun-Earth L1 point. IMAP’s ten instruments provide a complete and synergistic set of observations to simultaneously dissect the particle injection and acceleration processes at 1 AU while remotely probing the global heliospheric interaction and its response to particle populations generated by these processes. In situ at 1 AU, IMAP provides detailed observations of solar wind electrons and ions; suprathermal, pickup, and energetic ions; and the interplanetary magnetic field. For the outer heliosphere interaction, IMAP provides advanced global observations of the remote plasma and energetic ions over a broad energy range via energetic neutral atom imaging, and precise observations of interstellar neutral atoms penetrating the heliosphere. Complementary observations of interstellar dust and the ultraviolet glow of interstellar neutrals further deepen the physical understanding from IMAP. IMAP also continuously broadcasts vital real-time space weather observations. Finally, IMAP engages the broader Heliophysics community through a variety of innovative opportunities. This paper summarizes the IMAP mission at the start of Phase A development. 相似文献

Interstellar material (ISMa) is observed both inside and outside of the heliosphere. Relating these diverse sets of ISMa data provides a richer understanding of both the interstellar medium and the heliosphere. The galactic environment of the Sun is dominated by warm, low-density, partially ionized interstellar material consisting of atoms and dust grains. The properties of the heliosphere are dependent on the pressure, composition, radiation field, ionization, and magnetic field of ambient ISMa. The very low-density interior of the Local Bubble, combined with an expanding superbubble shell associated with star formation in the Scorpius-Centaurus Association, dominate the properties of the local interstellar medium (LISM). Once the heliosphere boundaries and interaction mechanisms are understood, interstellar gas, dust, pickup ions, and anomalous cosmic rays inside of the heliosphere can be directly compared to ISMa outside of the heliosphere. Our understanding of ISMa at the Sun is further enriched when the circumheliospheric interstellar material is compared to observations of other nearby ISMa and the overall context of our galactic environment. The IBEX mission will map the interaction region between the heliosphere and ISMa, and improve the accuracy of comparisons between ISMa inside and outside the heliosphere. 相似文献

The Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) instrument on New Horizons will measure the interaction between the solar wind and ions created by atmospheric loss from Pluto. These measurements provide a characterization of the total loss rate and allow us to examine the complex plasma interactions at Pluto for the first time. Constrained to fit within minimal resources, SWAP is optimized to make plasma-ion measurements at all rotation angles as the New Horizons spacecraft scans to image Pluto and Charon during the flyby. To meet these unique requirements, we combined a cylindrically symmetric retarding potential analyzer with small deflectors, a top-hat analyzer, and a redundant/coincidence detection scheme. This configuration allows for highly sensitive measurements and a controllable energy passband at all scan angles of the spacecraft. 相似文献

Recent papers have suggested that the slow solar wind is a super-position of material which is released by reconnection from
large coronal loops. This reconnection process is driven by large-scale motions of solar magnetic flux driven by the non-radial
expansion of the solar wind from the differentially rotating photosphere into more rigidly rotating coronal holes.
The elemental composition of the slow solar wind material is observed to be fractionated and more variable than the fast solar
wind from coronal holes. Recently, it has also been reported that fractionation also occurs in 3He/4He. This may be interpreted
in the frame-work of an existing model for fractionation on large coronal loops in which wave-particle interactions preferentially
heat ions thereby modifying their scale-heights.

On the Slow Solar Wind 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A theory for the origin of the slow solar wind is described. Recent papers have demonstrated that magnetic flux moves across
coronal holes as a result of the interplay between the differential rotation of the photosphere and the non-radial expansion
of the solar wind in more rigidly rotating coronal holes. This flux will be deposited at low latitudes and should reconnect
with closed magnetic loops, thereby releasing material from the loops to form the slow solar wind. It is pointed out that
this mechanism provides a natural explanation for the charge states of elements observed in the slow solar wind, and for the
presence of the First-Ionization Potential, or FIP, effect in the slow wind and its absence in fast wind. Comments are also
provided on the role that the ACE mission should have in understanding the slow solar wind.

Coronal hole boundaries are the interfaces between regions where the coronal magnetic field contains a significant component
which is open into the heliosphere and regions where the field is primarily closed. It is pointed out that there are constraints
on the magnetic field which opens into the heliosphere that must be satisfied in the corona: it must come into pressure equilibrium
in the high corona, and the component of the field which connects to the polar regions of the Sun must differentially rotate.
A model is presented in which satisfying these constraints determines which field lines are open and which are closed, and
thus where the polar coronal hole boundaries occur. Some of the consequences of this model are discussed.

A theory is presented for the origin of the solar wind, which is based on the behavior of the magnetic field of the Sun. The
magnetic field of the Sun can be considered as having two distinct components: Open magnetic flux in which the field lines
remain attached to the Sun and are dragged outward into the heliosphere with the solar wind. Closed magnetic flux in which
the field remains entirely attached to the Sun, and forms loops and active regions in the solar corona. It is argued that
the total open flux should tend to be constant in time, since it can be destroyed only if open flux of opposite polarity reconnect,
a process that may be unlikely since the open flux is ordered into large-scale regions of uniform polarity. The behavior of
open flux is thus governed by its motion on the solar surface. The motion may be due primarily to a diffusive process that
results from open field lines reconnecting with randomly oriented closed loops, and also due to the usual convective motions
on the solar surface such as differential rotation. The diffusion process needs to be described by a diffusion equation appropriate
for transport by an external medium, which is different from the usual diffusion coefficient used in energetic particle transport.
The loops required for the diffusion have been identified in recent observations of the Sun, and have properties, both in
size and composition, consistent with their use in the model. The diffusive process, in which reconnection occurs between
open field lines and loops, is responsible for the input of mass and energy into the solar wind.

The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is a small explorer mission that launched on 19 October 2008 with the sole, focused science objective to discover the global interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium. IBEX is designed to achieve this objective by answering four fundamental science questions: (1) What is the global strength and structure of the termination shock, (2) How are energetic protons accelerated at the termination shock, (3) What are the global properties of the solar wind flow beyond the termination shock and in the heliotail, and (4) How does the interstellar flow interact with the heliosphere beyond the heliopause? The answers to these questions rely on energy-resolved images of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs), which originate beyond the termination shock, in the inner heliosheath. To make these exploratory ENA observations IBEX carries two ultra-high sensitivity ENA cameras on a simple spinning spacecraft. IBEX’s very high apogee Earth orbit was achieved using a new and significantly enhanced method for launching small satellites; this orbit allows viewing of the outer heliosphere from beyond the Earth’s relatively bright magnetospheric ENA emissions. The combination of full-sky imaging and energy spectral measurements of ENAs over the range from ~10 eV to 6 keV provides the critical information to allow us to achieve our science objective and understand this global interaction for the first time. The IBEX mission was developed to provide the first global views of the Sun’s interstellar boundaries, unveiling the physics of the heliosphere’s interstellar interaction, providing a deeper understanding of the heliosphere and thereby astrospheres throughout the galaxy, and creating the opportunity to make even greater unanticipated discoveries. 相似文献

This chapter covers the theory of physical processes in the outer heliosphere that are particularly important for the IBEX Mission, excluding global magnetohydrodynamic/Boltzmann modeling of the entire heliosphere. Topics addressed include the structure and parameters of the solar wind termination shock, the transmission of ions through the termination shock including possible reflections at the shock electrostatic potential, the acceleration and transport of suprathermal ions and anomalous cosmic rays at the termination shock and in the heliosheath, charge-exchange interactions in the outer heliosphere including mass and momentum loading of the solar wind, the transport of interstellar pickup ions, and the production and anticipated intensities of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) in the heliosphere. 相似文献
