Depletion of Heavy Ion Abundances in Slow Solar Wind and Its Association with Quiet Sun Regions

The exact coronal origin of the slow-speed solar wind has been under debate for decades in the Heliophysics community. Besides the solar wind speed, the heavy ion composition, including the elemental abundances and charge state ratios, are widely used as diagnostic tool to investigate the coronal or...
