Parker Ecliptic Cuts |
Planar cuts along the ecliptic: These show the density (normalized to 1 AU) and velocity, as planar cuts along the ecliptic. The Sun is in the center; Earth is shown in its orbit around the Sun. The inner planets and their orbits, Parker Solar Probe, BepiColombo, Solar Orbiter, and STEREO A locations are shown. The maps are derived from a tomographic time-dependent model of the solar wind that is fit to Parker Solar Probe brightness and interplanetary scintillation (IPS) velocities obtained from ISEE, Japan. Locations where too few lines of sight cross to provide valid results are left blank.
