Scientific paper

A simple, robust scaling law, was recently derived which explains naturally how the well known anti-correlation between final solar wind speed and freezing-in temperature results from loss of radiated energy in the corona. Further, if the Sun injects roughly fixed electromagnetic energy per particle, this law provides a constant energy model for the source of solar wind: fast tenuous solar wind from dark coronal holes; slow dense wind from hotter, brighter regions; and bound but unstable plasma in extremely hot regions, which may be related to solar transients. We discuss here the scaling law, and explore observational implications of solar wind composition and plasma properties for the constant energy model of the solar wind.
