Anomalous Composition in Slow Solar Wind as a Signature of Ma ic Reconnection in its Source Region L. Zhao, E. Landi, S. T. Lepri, M. Kocher, and L. A. Fisk University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, USA 1 The Story: Subject, Special feature and the Significance • Subject We find a subset of slow solar wind whose heavy ion composition is abnormal – the Outliers. • Special feature The fully ionized charge states of heavy ions are dramatically depleted in the Outliers. • Significance Outlier slow solar wind is a direct by-product of ma ic reconnection that release the solar wind. 2 Introduction: ze-in process • Ion formation processes: • Ionization and bination • Decreasing electron density shut down the processes, ions charge states do not change af certain height --“ ze-in” (Michigan ionization code Chianti, Landi et al. ApJ, 761, 48, 2012) 3 O7+/O6+ vs. C6+/C5+ Ratios outliers 4 Solar Cycle Dependence Solar um Solar Minimum Ascending phase 5 The Content of the Outliers 1.0% Fast wind (V500 Km/s) Outliers 49.4% ICMEs (Richardson Cane 2010)
