Scientific paper

Solar wind heavy ion spectra measured with the Vela instrumentation are studied to determine the solar origins of various solar wind structures which contain anomalously high ionization states. The spectra indicating hot coronal conditions were found to occur in 1/7th of all measurements and almost exclusively in postshock flows, nonshock related helium abundance enhancements, or noncompressive density enhancements. The observation of several flared-related helium abundance enhancements suggests that the flare-heated plasma can evolve into the solar wind without producing a noticeable shock at 1 AU.
