It was launched a decade ago on 2 December 1995, and in April 2006 it will have completed 10 years of successful scientific operations. In celebration of this milestone, we are organizing a meeting to review the many and varied scientific accomplishments of SOHO. An important focus of the meeting will be the conceptual and theoretical advances that coordinated multi- instrument and multi-mission observations of the Sun have helped us make in the last decade, and to examine the role that the continued observations of SOHO will play within the context of future missions. The meeting will cover the full breadth of SOHO science, organised around the following seven sessions: 1) Solar Interior: From Exploration to Experimentation Invited speakers: D. Gough, S. Basu, T. Corbard 2) Magnetic Variability: From the Tachocline to the Heliosphere Invited speakers: L. Gizon, S. Tobias, Z. Mikic 3) Atmospheric Heating and Solar Wind Origin: MHD vs. Plasma Physics Invited speakers: J. Klimchuk, V. Hansteen, G.

  • Observational Signatures of Nonlinear Interactions in the Solar Wind
    Observational Signatures of Nonlinear Interactions in the Solar Wind by Trevor Bowen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Stuart Bale, Chair Professor Jonathan Wurtele Professor Eliot Quataert Spring 2019 Copyright 2019 by Trevor Bowen Abstract Observational Signatures of Nonlinear Interactions in the Solar Wind by Trevor Bowen Doctor of Philosophy in Physics University of California, Berkeley Professor Stuart Bale, Chair Spacecraft observations from the interplanetary medium of our solar system reveal the presence of a magnetized super-sonic flow emanating from the sun, commonly known as the solar wind. Empiri- cally, in-situ measurements from spacecraft suggest that the solar wind is in a turbulent state frequently occurring fluid-like systems. Though theories of non-magnetized hydrodynamic turbulence have been successfully adapted to account for plasma dynamics relevant to the solar wind (e.g. strong magneti- zation, multi-particle composition, non-viscous dissipation, and weak collisionality), there is lacking consensus regarding the physical processes responsible for empirically observed phenomena: e.g. com- pressible fluctuations, intermittent coherent features, injection of energy at large scales, and particle heating. Interpreting in-situ spacecraft measurements is often complicated by limitations associated with single point me which most often consist of a single point (or at best a few points) located near Earth. At the largest physical scales, processes associated with solar wind generation and evolution consist of temporal variation over the 11 year solar cycle, with spatial gradients extending over the large scale heliosphere, ∼ 200 AU.

    Kinetic processes and wave-particle interactions in the solar wind Eckart Marsch Institute for Experimental and Applied Physics (IEAP), Christian Albrechts University at Kiel, 24118 Kiel, Germany Seminar Talk at Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, November 2013 Ion kinetics in the solar wind • Prominent kinetic features observed by Helios are the proton beam and the core temperature anisotropy, Tc⊥ > Tc. • Evidence for pitch- angle scattering and quasilinear diffusion, microinstablities and Coulomb collisions Marsch et al., JGR 1982 Wave-ion kinetic interactions Beams and temperature anisotropies usually occur in solar wind proton velocity distributions. They indicate ubiquitous kinetic wave-particle interactions, which involve cyclotron and Landau resonances with plasma waves.

    Solar wind and kinetic heliophysics Eckart Marsch Institute for Experimental and Applied Physics, Christian-Albrechts University at Kiel, Leibnizstraße 11, 24118 Kiel, Germany Invited contribution by Eckart Marsch, recipient of the EGU Hannes Alfvén Medal 2018 Correspondence: Eckart Marsch ([email protected]) Abstract. This lecture reviews recent aspects of solar wind physics and elucidates the role Alfvén waves play in solar wind acceler- ation and turbulence, which prevail in the low corona and inner heliosphere. Our understanding of the solar wind has made considerable progress based on remote sensing, in-situ measurements, kinetic simulation and fluid modeling. Further insights 5 are expected from such missions as the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter. The sources of the solar wind have been identified in the chromospheric network, transition region and corona of the sun. Alfvén waves excited by reconnection in the network contribute to the driving of turbulence and plasma flows in funnels and coronal holes. The dynamic solar magnetic field causes solar wind variations over the solar cycle. Fast and slow solar wind streams, as well as transient coronal mass ejections are generated by the sun’s magnetic activity. 10 Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence originates at the sun and evolves into interplanetary space. The major Alfvén waves and minor magnetosonic waves, with an admixture of pressure-balanced structures at various scales, constitute heliophysical turbulence. Its spectra evolve radially and develop anisotropies. Numerical simulations of turbulence spectra have reproduced key observational features. Collisionless dissipation of fluctuations remains a subject of intense research. Detailed measurements of particle velocity distributions have revealed non-maxwellian electrons, strongly anisotropic pro- 15 tons and heavy ion beams.
