Comparative Study of Microwave Polar Brightening, Coronal Holes, and Solar Wind over the Solar Poles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We compared the long-term variation (1992–2017) in solar polar brightening observed with the Nobeyama Radioheliograph, the polar solar-wind velocity with interplanetary scintillation observations at the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research ...

Dynamical age of solar wind turbulence in the outer heliosphere

open access: yes, 1998
In an evolving turbulent medium, a natural timescale can be defined in terms of the energy decay time. The time evolution may be complicated by other effects such as energy supply due to driving, and spatial inhomogeneity.

Coronal Holes

open access: yes, 2008
Coronal holes are regions of low-density plasma on the Sun that have magnetic fields that open freely into interplanetary space. During times of low solar activity, coronal holes cover the north and south polar caps of the Sun. During more active periods,

Propagation and damping of MHD waves in the solar atmosphere

open access: yes, 2015
Quasi-periodic disturbances have been observed in the outer solar atmosphere for many years. Although first interpreted as upflows (Schrijver et al.

Solar magnetic field reversal as seen at Ulysses

open access: yes, 2003
The rapid motion of the Ulysses spacecraft from high southern to high northern latitudes in 2000–2001 provided an excellent opportunity to make inferences regarding the solar magnetic dipole's behaviour around solar maximum.

Solar coronal-hole plasma densities and temperatures [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2006
Polar plumes extending from the Sun into the solar corona have long been seen during eclipses, and can now be studied without this restriction with telescopes and spectrometers on board of spacecraft. Despite the large amount of observational data available on this prominent phenomenon, it is not clear whether plumes contribute substantially to the ...

Statistical Study of Network Jets Observed in the Solar Transition Region: a Comparison Between Coronal Holes and Quiet-Sun Regions

open access: yes, 2016
Recent IRIS observations have revealed a prevalence of intermittent small-scale jets with apparent speeds of 80 - 250 kms(-1), emanating from small-scale bright regions inside network boundaries of coronal holes.

Discrete changes in solar coronal hole boundaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1990
Sequences of Skylab X-ray images near central meridian passages of a large solar coronal hole are used here to examine hole boundary changes with a time resolution of 90 min. It is found that X-ray bright points play a key role in both the expansion and contraction of the coronal hole.

The propagation and damping of slow magnetoacoustic waves in the solar atmosphere

open access: yes, 2012
The propagation and damping of slow magnetoacoustic waves in the solar atmosphere is investigated, with particular emphasis placed on waves with periodicities of five minutes. The basic model of a uniform temperature loop is extended by the addition of

Solar polar coronal hole - A mathematical simulation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1977
The northern polar region of the sun was studied during July 1973 by Munro and Jackson through use of the white-light coronagraph and the X-ray photographs produced by the Skylab mission. They described the northern polar hole as nearly axisymmetric and gave the geometry and density distribution under this approximation.
