After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter spacecrafts to…

In the vicinity of Earth's orbit, the typical solar wind Alfv\'{e}n Mach number exceeds 5, and the super-Alfv\'{e}nic solar wind drives a conventional magnetosphere configuration. However, at the ejecta phase of an interplanetary coronal…
