Cross Helicity and the Helium Abundance as an In Situ Metric of Solar Wind Acceleration
The two-state solar wind paradigm is based on observations showing that slow and fast solar wind have distinct properties like helium abundances, kinetic signatures, elemental composition, and charge-state ratios. Nominally, the fast wind originates from solar sources that are continuously magnetica...
