Parker Solar Probe: Exploring the Plasma Physics of the Solar Corona and Inner Heliosphere

Update: 2018-07-26

Description

In this lecture, Prof. Marco Velli discusses our present knowledge of the magnetized solar corona and wind and describes the PSP scientific objectives, orbit, and instruments. Emphasis is on the potential new discoveries stemming from the first exploration of the space inside the orbit of Mercury. Prof. Velli also discusses how synergies with Solar Orbiter might lead us to accurately understand the state of the solar wind all the way from the corona into interplanetary space, elucidating like never before the role and dynamics of active magnetized plasmas throughout the universe.
