An optimization algorithm determines the optimal source surface radius for PFSS models by minimizing MSE against PSP radial field data from encounters 1-19 after backmapping, yielding increasing R_ss from solar minimum into cycle 25 ascending phase with improved open flux agreement.
Solar wind composition depends strongly on source distance from the open-closed boundary, with enhanced variability and slow-wind signatures concentrated within ~25 Mm of the boundary.
Statistical analysis shows solar energetic electrons rarely cross the heliospheric current sheet unless the source or spacecraft is close to it.
