OUTFLOW AFFECTS THE SOLAR WIND!
|
|
|
The image above is from a movie (click on the image above, or a link in the first entry below) of an active region on the Sun, close to an equatorial coronal hole. Looking to the left of center in the sequence of images, an outflow of material (plasma) was measured to be movinng at 10 km/s. Material outflow in regions like this one, is thought to be a source of the low-speed solar wind. High-speed solar wind has speeds of 600-800 km/s. For more details, see the special Hinode issue of Science.

Movies
- (Image above) Plasma apparently flows nearly continuously from the edge of some solar active regions and may be one source of low speed solar wind. The velocity of the flow was measured to be 140 km/s.

| Made from SOT images, this movie shows prominences above an active region at the limb. Detailed analysis of high-resolution images attributes the waving motion of a prominence to Alfvén waves in the corona. |
