Caption: Figure 8.

Evolution of the temperature anisotropy and temperature ratio of α particles and protons with Coulomb collisional age AC(αp). Temperature anisotropy of protons and α particles are shown in the top two rows, and Tα/Tp are shown in the bottom row. The two black arrows in panels (b) and (d) indicate the trends of ATp and A with AC(αp) within 20 R, respectively. The color bar indicates the heliocentric distance. The black contour denotes the counts of intervals in one bin equaling 10.
