The Expansion of Coronal Plumes in the Fast Solar Wind
Space Science Reviews, 1998Coronal plumes are believed to be essentially magnetic features: they are rooted in magnetic flux concentrations at the photosphere and are observed to extend nearly radially above coronal holes out to at least 15 solar radii, probably tracing the open field lines.

Critical Magnetic Field Strengths for Solar Coronal Plumes in Quiet Regions and Coronal Holes? [PDF]
AbstractCoronal plumes are bright magnetic funnels found in quiet regions (QRs) and coronal holes (CHs). They extend high into the solar corona and last from hours to days. The heating processes of plumes involve dynamics of the magnetic field at their base, but the processes themselves remain mysterious.

Coronal Plumes and Fine Scale Structure in High Speed Solar Wind Streams
Space Science Reviews, 1994We present a solar wind model which takes into account the possible origin of fast solar wind streams in coronal plumes. We treat coronal holes as being made up of essentially 2 plasma species, denser, warmer coronal plumes embedded in a surrounding less dense and cooler medium.

The Geometric Spreading of Coronal Plumes and Coronal Holes [PDF]
The geometric spreading in plumes and in the interplume region in coronal holes is calculated, using analytic and numerical theoretical models, between 1.0 and 5.0 solar radius. We apply a two-scale approximation that permits the rapid local spreading at

Accelerating and Supersonic Density Fluctuations in Coronal Hole Plumes: Signature of Nascent Solar Winds [PDF]
Abstract Slow magnetoacoustic waves in a static background provide a seismological tool to probe the solar atmosphere in the analytic frame. By analyzing the spatiotemporal variation of the electron number density of plume structure in coronal holes above the limb for a given temperature, we find that the density perturbations accelerate

Time-Dependent Hydrodynamical Simulations of Slow Solar Wind, Coronal Inflows, and Polar Plumes [PDF]
Aims. We explore the effects of varying the areal expansion rate and coronal heating function on the solar wind flow. Methods. We use a one-dimensional, time-dependent hydrodynamical code. The computational domain extends from near the photosphere, where nonreflecting boundary conditions are applied, to 30 , and includes a transition region where ...

Solar Polar Plume Lifetime and Coronal Hole Expansion: Determination From Long-Term Observations
We have generated off-limb polar synoptic charts of polar plume evolution at various solar altitudes using EUV Imaging Telescope and Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph data from 1996 December. The charts allow direct measurement of the altitude expansion of the solar minimum coronal holes.

Results from a series of SOHO/Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) observations of coronal holes and plumes are presented, including analysis of a low-latitude plume observed in August 1996. Spectroscopic diagnostic techniques using the CHIANTI atomic database are applied to derive the plasma parameters: electron density, temperature, and element ...
