UVCS WG ON
Empirical Models of Helmet Streamers
Chairperson:
G. Poletto
Group Coordinator:
Marco Romoli
Main scientific purposes:
- streamer morphology (e.g.: magnetic configuration)
- streamer modeling (e.g.: empirical T,N,v vs r behavior; comparison of
present streamer models against data; development of improved models)
- distribution of ion abundances in streamers (e.g.: FIP effect in quiescent vs active region streamers)
origin of slow wind (e.g.: identification of the source region of slow
wind, cusp height)
