Scientific paper

It is shown that the solar-wind settings of planar magnetic structures (PMSs) are generally inconsistent with their interpretation by Nakagawa et al. (1989) as magnetic loops or tongues resulting from newly emerging magnetic flux in the photosphere. It is suggested that PMS events have two origins: (1) compression and/or draping of preexisting magnetic structures on the leading edge of high-speed streams, especially ahead of coronal mass ejections; and (2) discontinuities near the heliospheric current sheet.
