Physics of the inner heliosphere

太阳创造了太阳风，它充满了行星际空间，并携带着磁场。磁场和等离子体与地球的相互作用产生了空间天气效应，具有重大的社会后果。因此，对太阳风的研究告诉我们基本的等离子体物理学，恒星风的动力学，以及太阳如何影响我们在地球上。在这个项目中，来自帕克太阳探测器和太阳轨道器的数据将用于研究太阳风的基本方面，例如小规模结构的起源和演变;日光层磁场的大规模结构;以及日光层在太阳周期中的演变。

The Sun creates the solar wind, which fills interplanetary space and carries with it a magnetic field. Interactions of the magnetic field and plasma with the Earth create space weather effects which have significant societal consequences. Study of the solar wind therefore informs us about fundamental plasma physics, the dynamics of stellar winds, and also how the Sun affects us on Earth. In this project, data from Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter will be used to study fundamental aspects of the solar wind such as the origins and evolution of small scale structures; the large scale structure of the heliospheric magnetic field; and the evolution of the heliosphere over the solar cycle.
