摘要

The solar wind protons are accelerated to supersonic velocities within the distance of 10 solar radii from the Sun, as a consequence of a complex physical mechanism including particle kinetic effects as well as the field-particle energy and momentum exchange. We use a numerical kinetic model of the solar wind, accounting for Coulomb collisions (BiCoP), and model a solar wind accelerated only by the ambipolar electrostatic filed (E) arising due to the difference in mass between electron and proton, and assuring quasi-neutrality and zero current. We study the effect E, which was found to be on the order of Dreicer electric field (E_D) (Dreicer, 1959), has on the resulting electron velocity distribution functions. The strahl electron radial evolution is represented by means of its pitch-angle width (PAW), and the strahl parallel temperature (T_(s,‖)). A continuous transition between collisional and weakly collisional regime results in broader PAW, compared to the single-exobase prediction imposed by the exospheric models. Collisions were found to scatter strahl electrons below 250 eV, which in turn has an effect on the measured T_(s,‖). A slight increase was found in T_(s,‖) with radial distance, and was stronger for the more collisional run. We estimate that the coronal electron temperature inferred from the observations of T_(s,‖) in the solar wind, would be overestimated for between 8% and 15%.
