UVCS WG ON
Empirical Models of Helmet Streamers

Chairperson:

G. Poletto

Group Coordinator:

Marco Romoli

Main scientific purposes:

  1. streamer morphology (e.g.: magnetic configuration)
  2. streamer modeling (e.g.: empirical T,N,v vs r behavior; comparison of present streamer models against data; development of improved models)
  3. 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)

Current members:
