A Community Data Set for Comparing Automated Coronal Hole Detection Schemes

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Automated detection schemes are nowadays the standard approach for locating coronal holes in extreme-UV images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). However, factors such as the noisy nature of solar imagery, instrumental effects, and others make it

High Latitude Thermosphere and Ionosphere Density Response to the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm Observed by the LLITED CubeSat Mission

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The May 2024 G5 geomagnetic storm produced significant disturbances in the ionosphere and thermosphere, particularly at high latitudes. Using high‐resolution in situ ion and neutral density measurements from the NASA Low‐Latitude Ionosphere/Thermosphere Enhancements in Density (LLITED) CubeSat at 430 km altitude, this study documents notable ...

Thermodynamic Evolution of Plumes

The Astrophysical Journal
Plumes are considered to play an important role in the origin of the solar wind. However, an understanding of their thermodynamic evolution is not complete. Here, we perform a detailed study of a plume inside a coronal hole throughout its lifetime, using

Magnetic Reconnection Ion Outflows Observed at the Dayside Magnetopause: Observation‐Model Comparison and Influence of Solar Wind Structures

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in magnetized plasmas that accelerates charged particles at the expense of magnetic energy. This study examines 122 dayside magnetopause crossing events characterized by accelerated ion plasma flows consistent with magnetic reconnection.

Estimating the Poynting Flux of Alfvénic Waves in Polar Coronal Holes across Solar Cycle 24

The Astrophysical Journal
Alfvénic waves are known to be prevalent throughout the corona and solar wind. Determining the Poynting flux supplied by the waves is required for constraining their role in plasma heating and acceleration, as well as providing a constraint for Alfvén ...

Solar wind from the coronal hole boundaries [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2005
Recent studies using in situ observations established that the interface between fast and slow wind in interplanetary space has two distinct parts: a smoothly varying boundary layer flow that flanks fast wind from coronal holes and a sharper plasma discontinuity between intermediate and slow solar wind.

Global Effect of Long‐Lasting 07–12 October 2024 Geomagnetic Storms During the Transition From a Strong (G3) to a Severe (G4) on the Geomagnetic Field and Ionospheric Parameters Distribution

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the co‐evolution of geomagnetic field disturbances with ionospheric parameters and their characteristic latitudinal signatures by conducting a location and time‐dependent analysis of the 07–12 October 2024 events, to fill crucial gaps in understanding the coupled response of the magnetosphere‐ionosphere system. This has

Solar origins of solar wind properties during the cycle 23 solar minimum and rising phase of cycle 24

Journal of Advanced Research, 2013
The solar wind was originally envisioned using a simple dipolar corona/polar coronal hole sources picture, but modern observations and models, together with the recent unusual solar cycle minimum, have demonstrated the limitations of this picture.

SOLAR WIND AND CORONAL BRIGHT POINTS INSIDE CORONAL HOLES

The Astrophysical Journal, 2011
Observations of 108 coronal holes (CHs) from 1998-2008 were used to investigate the correlation between fast solar wind (SW) and several parameters of CHs. Our main goal was to establish the association between coronal bright points (CBPs; as sites of magnetic reconnection) and fast SW. Using in situ measurements of the SW, we have connected streams of

The impact of coronal hole characteristics and solar cycle activity in reconstructing coronal holes with EUHFORIA

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract Modelling with high accuracy the open magnetic field and the fast solar wind in the heliosphere is essential for space weather forecasting purposes. Primary sources of open magnetic field flux are Coronal Holes (CH), uni-polar regions that appear as dark patches in the solar corona when observed in X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet (
