Geomagnetic storms forecasting from solar coronal holes
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 <p>Coronal holes (CHs) are the source of high-speed solar wind streams (HSSs), which interact with the slow solar wind and form corotating interaction regions (CIRs) in the heliosphere. These high-speed streams and their associated structures influence the geomagnetic activity, causing recurrent geomagnetic storms. The propagation time of

, 2016 Coronal holes are the darkest and least active regions of the Sun, as observed both on the solar disk and above the solar limb. Coronal holes are associated with rapidly expanding open magnetic fields and the acceleration of the high-speed solar wind ...

Sensitivity of solar wind mass flux to coronal temperature [PDF]
, 2021 Solar wind models predict that the mass flux carried away from the Sun in the solar wind should be extremely sensitive to the temperature in the corona, where the solar wind is accelerated. We perform a direct test of this prediction in coronal holes and

From Coronal Holes to Pulsars and Back Again: Learning the Importance of Data
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Although wanting to become an astronomer from an early age, I ended up in solar physics purely by chance, after first working in high-energy astrophysics.

The Astrophysical Journal, 1991 It has been shown that the coronal hole, and the associated high-speed stream in the solar wind, are powered by a heat input of the order of 500,000 ergs/sq cm s, with most of the heat injected in the first 1-2 solar radii, and perhaps 100,000 ergs/sq cm s introduced at distances of several solar radii to provide the high speed of the issuing solar ...

The Fine-scale Structure of Polar Coronal Holes
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Coronal holes are thought to be composed of relatively broad columnar structures known as plumes. Here, we demonstrate that the plumes (and interplumes) in polar coronal holes are composed of fine-scale filamentary structure, with average scales of 2″–10″

Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2023 We have used data from the space telescope SOHO/EIT and the spectrometer VEIS on the Wind spacecraft to compare the solar wind (SW) speed near Earth's orbit with changes in the area of polar coronal holes (CHs) on the Sun during the 1996 solar activity ...

Dynamical Solar Wind Forecasting Using In Situ Solar Wind Speed Observations
Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Accurate prediction of the ambient solar wind at Earth is a key requirement for space‐weather forecasting but is limited by uncertainties in coronal boundary conditions and, to a lesser extent, heliospheric transport. We present a quantitative assessment of a solar wind forecast that uses near‐Earth in situ solar wind observations to estimate ...

Magnetic Topology and Loop Statistics in Observed Coronal Holes Using Potential Field Modeling
The Astrophysical JournalPotential field source surface (PFSS) models are widely used to study the solar corona and form the basis for solar wind forecasting, yet they often fail to reproduce observed properties of coronal holes.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 In this paper, we employ a Harten–Lax–van Leer (HLL) generalized Riemann problem (HLL-GRP) solver within the framework of a finite volume method to model 3D solar coronal structures for the first time.
