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.
Statistical analysis shows solar energetic electrons rarely cross the heliospheric current sheet unless the source or spacecraft is close to it.
