====Interconnections of active regions==== [[File:Parker Solar Probe Encounters Streamers on the Way to the Sun.webm|thumb|As [[Parker Solar Probe]] passed through the Sun's corona in early 2021, the spacecraft flew by structures called [[Helmet streamer|coronal streamers]].]] The interconnections of active regions are arcs connecting zones of opposite magnetic field, of different active regions. Significant variations of these structures are often seen after a flare.<ref name=":2" /> Some other features of this kind are [[helmet streamer]]s β large, cap-like coronal structures with long, pointed peaks that usually overlie sunspots and active regions. Coronal streamers are considered to be sources of the slow solar wind.<ref name=":2">{{cite journal| doi= 10.1029/2000GL000097| last= Ofman | first= Leon | title= Source regions of the slow solar wind in coronal streamers | journal= Geophysical Research Letters | volume = 27 | issue= 18 | pages= 2885β2888 |year=2000 | bibcode=2000GeoRL..27.2885O| url= https://zenodo.org/record/1231279 | doi-access= free }}</ref>
