Topic: Solar Physics
Session Title: Solar wind formation, evolution and properties in the age of Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe
Description: The Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe missions have both been operating for several years now, providing state-of-the art measurements of the solar wind and observations of its source regions on the Sun. These missions have ventured closer to the Sun than ever before, providing new insights into the properties of the solar wind and the mechanisms by which it forms and evolves. A crucial aspect of many solar wind studies is to use theory and modelling to establish connectivity between remotely sensed solar wind source regions (such as coronal holes and active region boundaries) and the plasma that is sampled in situ at the spacecraft. In this session, we will celebrate and discuss the latest advances in solar wind research that use data from Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe and other heliospheric observatories that will help us achieve the fundamental science goals of these missions.
