4. Electron (e-) and 4He time profiles from Helios-1 (0
Electron (e-) and 4He time profiles from Helios-1 (0.3 AU) and IMP-8 (1 AU) during a series of events in 1980 (from Wibberenz and Cane 2006). Helios observed at least five injections, which are smoothed out to a single event at 1 AU.

strategies – objectives – recent progress

7. The Structure of the HPS
Motivation
What is the fine-scale structure of the HPS? Is it smooth or intermittent?
Does the structure depend on the type of HPS (streamer or pseudo-streamer)?
What is the relation between HPS and HCS at different heliocentric distances?
How can we tell?
Multi-instrument Requirements/Synergy
SWEAP: Thermal plasma measurements,
WISPR: high resolution context imaging, 3D density reconstructions.
FIELDS: Magnetic field magnitude and direction measurements

Speakers:
M. Stevens: Wind & DSCOVR observations of plasma near the HCS.
N. Viall: density fluctuations.
A. Szabo: 1 AU magnetic signatures of the HPS.
P. Liewer: Simulations of Streamer Observations from WISPR
V. Bothmer: Lessons from HELIOS
A. Vourlidas: SECCHI imaging of the HPS
