The middle corona, the region roughly spanning heliocentric distances from 1.5 to 6 solar
radii, encompasses almost all of the influential physical transitions and processes that …

The solar wind is known to be highly structured in space and time. Observations from Parker
Solar Probe have revealed an abundance of so-called magnetic switchbacks within the near …

This paper reports the first possible evidence for the development of the Kelvin–Helmholtz
(KH) instability at the border of coronal holes separating the associated fast wind from the …

Aims We aim to investigate and characterize the morphology and dynamics of small-scale
coronal plasma density inhomogeneities detected as brighter, denser features propagating …

Context. The fast solar wind is known to emanate from polar coronal holes. Aims. This Letter
reports the first estimate of the expansion rate of polar coronal flows performed by the Metis …

Context. We present the results for the in-flight radiometric calibration performed for the
Visible Light (VL) channel of the Metis coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter. Aims. The …

This Letter reports the first observational estimate of the heating rate in the slowly expanding
solar corona. The analysis exploits the simultaneous remote and local observations of the …

Context. On 2021 February 12, two subsequent eruptions occurred above the western limb
of the Sun, as seen along the Sun-Earth line. The first event was a typical slow coronal mass …

In the early hours of 2021 April 25, the Solar Probe Cup on board Parker Solar Probe
registered the passage of a solar wind structure characterized by a clear and constant …

Context. The Metis coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter offers a new view of coronal mass
ejections (CMEs), observing them for the first time with simultaneous images acquired with a …
