SH53A:
Fundamental Physics of the Solar Corona and Inner Heliosphere II


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 61412

Session Description:
The solar corona and wind provide a natural laboratory where magnetic fields guide and energize the plasma. Structured over a wide range of time and spatial scales, the coronal plasma is heated and accelerated giving rise to the turbulent, super-Alfvénic wind filling the heliosphere. With the launch of Parker Solar Probe, inner heliospheric research should reach a new level of understanding. This session explores 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 derived from models, what fundamental observations from Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter should drive theoretical developments? Solicited contributions include theoretical, numerical simulation, and observational papers.
