Stream interface slope near 1 AU and the configuration of the heliospheric current sheet at 2.5 solar radii K.D.C. Simunac STEREO SWG October 2009

Introduction “… stream interfaces are offset from, but are aligned roughly parallel to, the heliospheric current sheet…because both arise from basically the same geometry back at the Sun” Gosling and Pizzo, Formation and Evolution of Corotating Interaction Regions and Their Three Dimensional Structure, Space Science Reviews 89: , 1999.

Stream Interfaces: Quick Review The boundary marking a transition from slow to fast solar wind Speed increases Density drops Temperature increases Flow shears observed Figure 1 from Pizzo 1978.

Stream Interface: Example 1 1 hour averaged data from STEREO-A/ PLASTIC 28 June - 4 July, 2007 Bulk Speed [km/s] Proton Density [cm -3 ] Thermal Speed [km/s] East/West Flow [degrees] North/South Flow [degrees] 1

Lee 2000: Stream Interface Slope “… the ratio of the N-S component to the E-W component of the transverse flow is -(e  n)/(e  n).”

Stream Interface 1 30 June :48 to 07:09 UT 1 minute data from STEREO-A/ PLASTIC 1 minute averaged data from STEREO-A/ IMPACT Bulk Speed [km/s] East/West Flow [degrees] North/South Flow [degrees] B_R/B

Example 1 GONG line-of-sight ecliptic plane field model Red: B_R < 0 Green: B_R > 0 ∆East/West = -2.3º - 2.5º = -4.8º ∆North/South = 3.1º - 4.3º = -1.2º slope = 0.25

Stream Interface 2 1 hour averaged data from STEREO-A/ PLASTIC 28 June - 6 July, 2007 Bulk Speed [km/s] Proton Density [cm -3 ] Thermal Speed [km/s] East/West Flow [degrees] North/South Flow [degrees] 12

Stream Interface 2 4 July :45 to 13:53 UT 1 minute data from STEREO-A/ PLASTIC 1 minute averaged data from STEREO-A/ IMPACT Bulk Speed [km/s] East/West Flow [degrees] North/South Flow [degrees] B_R/B

Example 2 ∆East/West = -5.2º - 1.4º = -6.6º ∆North/South = -1.3º - (-0.7º) = -0.6 slope = 0.09

Example 3 1 hour averaged data from STEREO-A/ PLASTIC July, 2007 Bulk Speed [km/s] Proton Density [cm -3 ] Thermal Speed [km/s] East/West Flow [degrees] North/South Flow [degrees] 2 3

Stream Interface 3 11 July :03 to 13:13 UT 1 minute data from STEREO-A/ PLASTIC 1 minute averaged data from STEREO-A/ IMPACT Bulk Speed [km/s] East/West Flow [degrees] North/South Flow [degrees] B_R/B

Example 3 ∆East/West = -6.2º - 1.3º = -7.5º ∆North/South = -3.5º - (-7.8º) = 4.3 slope = -0.57

Example 4 -- More Recent 1 hour averaged data from STEREO-A/ PLASTIC 28 Sept. - 6 Oct., 2009 Bulk Speed [km/s] Proton Density [cm -3 ] Thermal Speed [km/s] East/West Flow [degrees] North/South Flow [degrees]

Stream Interface 4 1 October :34 to 15:40 UT Bulk Speed [km/s] East/West Flow [degrees] North/South Flow [degrees]

Example 4 ∆East/West = -2.9º - 1.7º = -4.6º ∆North/South = 0.3º - 0.7º = -0.4º slope = 0.09

Summary and Questions After looking at about 30 cases with 1 hour time resolution, I conclude that the interfaces observed in connection with current sheet crossings do seem to be roughly parallel to the current sheet…somewhere. I have looked at just a few interfaces with the 1 minute resolution data, but results are so far consistent with 1 hour averaged data. In some cases the north/south and east/west flow shears are not exactly cotemporaneous -- what does this mean? How should I deal with it? When the stream interface does not closely follow a current sheet crossing, what should we expect?
