Solar Mass Ejections and Coronal Holes [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996
AbstractIn this paper we present observations of two types of solar mass ejections, which seem to be associated with the location of coronal holes. In the first type, a filament eruption was observed near a coronal hole, which gave rise to a strong interplanetary scintillations, as detected by IPS observations.

Estimating Ion Temperatures at the Polar Coronal Hole Boundary

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The temperatures of the heavy ions ( T _i ) in the solar corona provide critical information about the heating mechanism of the million-degree corona.

Graphical evidence for the solar coronal structure during the Maunder minimum: comparative study of the total eclipse drawings in 1706 and 1715

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2021
We discuss the significant implications of three eye-witness drawings of the total solar eclipse on 1706 May 12 in comparison with two on 1715 May 3, for our understanding of space climate change.

Prospective Implications of Extreme-ultraviolet Coronal Plumes for Magnetic-network Genesis of Coronal Heating, Coronal-hole Solar Wind, and Solar-wind Magnetic Field Switchbacks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We propose that coronal heating in EUV coronal plumes is weaker, not stronger, than in adjacent nonplume coronal magnetic funnels. This expectation stems from (i) the observation that an EUV plume is born as the magnetic flux at the foot of the plume’s ...

Geomagnetic Storms and Related Solar Phenomena (a. Precipitating Particles and Auroras) (Proceedings of the Second Symposium on Coordinated Observations of the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere in the Polar Regions : Part I)

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1980
This is an attempt to identify the causes of geomagnetic storms which occurred during a year and a half from January 1977 to June 1978. The assignment of geomagnetic storm causation to appropriate coronal holes or solar flares has been made by ...

Coronal Holes and the Solar Wind [PDF]

open access: yesHighlights of Astronomy, 1992
Around the turn of the century Professor Kristian Birkeland at the University of Kristiania (Oslo) carried out laboratory studies of the emission of charged particles from the Sun and their interaction with comets and magnetized planets. He found that cathode rays emitted by a magnetized sphere are bent toward the equator along trajectories similar to ...

Observational features of equatorial coronal hole jets [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2010
Collimated ejections of plasma called "coronal hole jets" are commonly observed in polar coronal holes. However, such coronal jets are not only a specific features of polar coronal holes but they can also be found in coronal holes appearing at lower ...

Solar Wind Forecasting with Coronal Holes [PDF]

open access: yesSolar Physics, 2006
An empirical model for forecasting solar wind speed related geomagnetic events is presented here. The model is based on the estimated location and size of solar coronal holes. This method differs from models that are based on photospheric magnetograms (e.g., Wang-Sheeley model) to estimate the open field line configuration.

Empirical Forecast of Corotating Interacting Regions and Geomagnetic Storms Based on Coronal Hole Information [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2009
In this study, we suggest an empirical forecast of CIR (Corotating Interaction Regions) and geomagnetic storm based on the information of coronal holes (CH). For this we used CH data obtained from He I 10830 Å maps at National Solar Observatory-Kitt Peak

The solar and interplanetary causes of the recent minimum in geomagnetic activity (MGA23): a combination of midlatitude small coronal holes, low IMF BZ variances, low solar wind speeds and low solar magnetic fields [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2011
Minima in geomagnetic activity (MGA) at Earth at the ends of SC23 and SC22 have been identified. The two MGAs (called MGA23 and MGA22, respectively) were present in 2009 and 1997, delayed from the sunspot number minima in 2008 and 1996 by ~1/2–1 years.
