The Evolving Solar Wind During a Decade of Historically Low Solar
Activity: Preparing for Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter

 

Over more than a decade, Solar and Heliospheric Scientists have observed
behavior in the solar wind that is unprecedented through the space age.
Solar wind densities, magnetic field strengths and pressures have been
exceptionally low, while galactic cosmic ray fluxes have reached the
highest levels in more than 80 years. Solar activity has also been
extremely weak during the mini solar maximum of cycle 24. Fundamental to
Heliophysics is connection between solar activity, the properties of the
solar wind and Heliospheric magnetic field, the nature and frequency of
coronal mass ejections, the properties of solar energetic particles and
cosmic rays. The physical relationships between these phenomena is a
critical area in Heliophysics with wide-reaching implications for space
weather, and for upcoming missions including Parker Solar Probe, Solar
Orbiter, and the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe.

 

We invite you to come to the meeting. If you should decide to come,
please send an email to Maureen Rodgers (maureen.rodgers at unh.edu), and
if you would like to give a talk, please send a title along with the
authors and co-authors to Maureen.
