2 CASS/UCSD - Jeju 2015 A Jets in the Heliosphere: A Solar Wind Component Solar Jets : Outflow evidence for a high-speed (and faster than ambient) solar wind structure component. Coronagraph images: Optical flow techniques used to measure coronagraph speeds. Characteristics of the dynamic flow: High speed patches, vs. brightness, C2 – COR2 comparisons. Averages with position angle and height. The mean value is the true solar wind speed. Speculation on what this means. Jets a tracer of a more ubiquitous solar wind process. Introduction:

Sako et al., 2013, Astrophys. J, 775, 22. If the amount of mass in a jet response is related to the jet fall-off in brightness with number, then jets provide ~2.5% of the total mass of the solar wind.

23 CASS/UCSD - Jeju 2015 A Jets in the Heliosphere: A Solar Wind Component So What Does This Mean? (A Summary)

25 CASS/UCSD - Jeju 2015 A Jets in the Heliosphere: A Solar Wind Component Speed summary plots 2D-correlation Speed summary plots obtained from 2D-correlation of the same high speed jet-associated response (at 2011 June 17 02:50 UT by the SDO/AIA) in both LASCO C2 and STEREO COR2 observations 90° in longitude from each other. material flow This sequence of bright high-speed patches can be directly tracked as brightness enhancements of about the same speed and size, and thus are a good indication that these measurements are of material flow in the corona. Distance From Sun

26 CASS/UCSD - Jeju 2015 A Jets in the Heliosphere: A Solar Wind Component Probably what we are seeing is evidence of an energy deposition at height that moves some small portions of the corona outward at high speeds and is associated with the emergence of oppositely directed flux from what is normal at that region on the solar surface. Jets illuminate this process, but are probably only a tracer of the effect taking place, since they are not numerous or massive enough to provide the total outward-flowing solar wind. That both the high and low speed structure fills the polar regions of the Sun and can be shown to average to the increasing solar wind speed in the large polar regions, probably means that this is evidence of the major source of solar wind acceleration in the corona.
