In recent years, the #ParkerSolarProbe and #SolarOrbiter probes have delivered a wealth of data about our #Sun, its surface—precisely where the #SolarWind originates. The ubiquitous presence of #plasma jets and magnetic field reversals suggests that a significant portion of the wind forms through dynamic processes involving magnetic #reconnection and transient energy releases.
This Thursday, Alexis Rouillard will review recent research on the dynamics of the solar wind: https://www.irap.omp.eu/event/the-tempestuous-origins-of-the-solar-wind-how-parker-and-solar-orbiter-are-probing-our-stars-atmosphere/
Les sondes #ParkerSolarProbe et #SolarOrbiter ont livré quantité de données relatives à notre #Soleil, sa surface - là où naît le #VentSolaire. L'omniprésence de jets de #plasma et d'inversions de champ magnétique suggère qu'une partie importante du vent se forme à travers des processus dynamiques impliquant la #reconnexion magnétique et des libérations d'énergie transitoires.

#ParkerSolarProbe was in the right place at the right time in September 2022: It passed through a magnetic reconnection region in the Sun's corona. #SolarOrbiter observed the event from a distance. Study led by #SwRI in @NatureAstronomy
