“…Certainly, it is well known that closed-field plasma blobs can be found in solar-wind plasma originating from coronal streamer stalks (Wang et al, 1999;Sheeley and Rouillard, 2010;Viall et al, 2010;Viall and Vourlidas, 2015;Kepko et al, 2016;Di Matteo et al, 2019). Relatedly, sector-reversalregion plasma (in which the heliospheric current sheet is found) tends to have magnetic fields that are less Parker-spiral oriented and tends to have a weaker electron strahl (Borovsky, 2021), both being indicative of impulsive emission of plasma from the Sun with poor magnetic connections back to the Sun. In the non-ejecta solar wind the magnetic flux tubes meander along the Parker-spiral direction (Borovsky, 2010).…”
