A STEADY-STATE PICTURE OF SOLAR WIND ACCELERATION AND CHARGE STATE COMPOSITION DERIVED FROM A GLOBAL WAVE-DRIVEN MHD MODEL

The higher charge states found in slow (<400 km s[superscript −1]) solar wind streams compared to fast streams have supported the hypothesis that the slow wind originates in closed coronal loops and is released intermittently through reconnection. Here we examine whether a highly ionized slow win...
