摘要:

Because the solar wind charge state composition stops evolving at the freeze-in point (1.5~3.5 Rs) and remains unaltered all the way along its journey in the Heliosphere, both the element abundance and the charge states of solar wind heavy ions can be used as important diagnostic tools to investigate the properties of the different types of solar wind originating from distinct coronal origins. We categorize the types of solar wind using a new classification scheme based on the location of the wind's coronal source regions in the solar atmosphere and near-solar heliosphere. We first trace the solar wind measured by ACE/SWEPAM and SWICS from 1998 to 2011 at 1 AU back to a 2.5 Rs solar surface using ballistic mapping at constant proton speed; then we map them back to their magnetic foot points on the 1 Rs surface via the potential field source surface (PFSS) model. Coronal structures are identified using a classification scheme based on the pixel brightness in SOHO or STEREO EUV Carrington images. The angular distances between each mapped solar wind footpoint to the different coronal structure pixels are calculated and used as a criterion to identify the type of solar wind source region. Depending on the proximity of the solar wind footpoints to a given coronal or heliospheric structure, we classify the solar wind into six types: active region (AR), active region boundary (AR-boundary), quiet Sun (QS), coronal hole (CH), coronal hole boundary (CHboundary), and helmet-streamer associated wind. The in-situ properties (e.g., FIP bias) of these six types of solar wind and their solar cycle dependence are then examined and compared. The main results are: 1) The O7+/O6+ ratio is the most meaningful in-situ signature of all of the measured parameters discussed in this work for differentiating the solar wind types according to their different coronal origins. The six types of the solar wind can be nicely aligned as helmet-streamer, AR, AR-boundary, QS, CH-boundary, and CH winds, according to the monotonically decreasing order of the O7+/O6+ ratio. 2) Solar wind proton speed cannot be used as a reliable signature to differentiate the solar wind into different coronal source regions because a great amount of slow speed solar wind originates from the CHs and their boundaries. 3) The FIP effect is present in all six types of solar wind measured near the ecliptic, and the FIP bias factors of lowFIP elements are more enhanced in winds from hot coronal regions than in the other types of winds from cold coronal regions. 4. The influences of the strength of the solar cycle on the hot part of the corona and their associated winds are stronger than on the cold part of corona and their associated winds. The implication of this work and the future studies using measurements from Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe will also be discussed.
