SH14B:
Fundamental Physics of the Solar Corona and Inner Heliosphere

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 31334

Session Description:
The solar corona and solar wind provide a complex laboratory where magnetic fields guide and energize the plasma. Structured over an incredibly wide range of time and spatial scales, the coronal plasma is heated and accelerated to give the turbulent, super-Alfvnic wind observed in the heliosphere. This session is open to exploring the many facets of physical processes involved in heliospheric origins: from the sources of different wind types and their connection to coronal structures, to the micro-physics of distribution functions, anisotropies, to the role of turbulence and wave-particle interactions in heating and acceleration, to the energization associated with structures, such as shocks, current sheets and magnetic reconnection. What specific observables can be derived from models, what fundamental observations should drive theoretical developments, in preparation for the decade of inner heliospheric and coronal exploration with Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe Plus? Solicited contributions include theoretical, numerical simulation, and observational papers.
