A theoretical investigation of the relationship between physical conditions in coronal disturbances and the ionization states of the resulting perturbed solar wind was conducted. Available measurements of active solar wind associated with solar flares often show an enhanced degree of ionization (e.g., Fe(+17)), implying that the measured solar wind material is flare-heated at its coronal source. In contrast, other active solar wind flows sometimes show anomalously low degrees of ionization (e.g., He(+)), implying that some solar material is expelled from the corona without ever reaching coronal temperatures. The effects of impulsive heat and/or momentum addition in the corona on the hydrodynamics and ionization state of the corona and solar wind were studied. One of the primary objectives of the current grant was the development of a software package suitable for: (1) generating models for the effects of impulsive heat and/or momentum deposition on plasma temperatures, densities and flow velocities; and (2) calculating the ionization state of the solar wind as a function of the location, duration and magnitude of heat and/or momentum deposition.
