This is owed to the neon atoms with their seven-fold ionization. However, it is difficult to compare the determined velocity fields with reality, because SUMER is too slow. The instrument requires about ten minutes to measure an entire active region.

“But we changed the orientation of the new coils from vertical tubes to horizontal tubes to reduce air pressure drop and reduce velocity enough to reduce ice shedding. We verified air pressure drop predictions with empirical tests in our own Wind ...

Also, interstellar space has a stronger magnetic field, meaning higher velocities are needed for a bow shock. “While bow shocks certainly exist ahead of many other stars, we're finding that our sun's interaction doesn't reach the critical threshold to ...
