Alfvénic velocity spikes and rotational flows in the near-Sun solar wind

Alfvénic velocity spikes and rotational flows in the near-Sun solar wind

The prediction of a supersonic solar wind1 was first confirmed by spacecraft near Earth2,3 and later by spacecraft at heliocentric distances as small as 62 solar radii4. These missions showed that plasma accelerates as it emerges from the corona, aided by unidentified processes that transport energy...
