Modeling ion beams, kinetic instabilities, and waves observed by the Parker Solar Probe near perihelia
Leon Ofman, Scott A Boardsen, Lan K Jian +2
Recent in-situ observations from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission in the inner heliosphere near perihelia show evidence of ion beams, temperature anisotropies, and kinetic wave…
The Solar Probe Cup on Parker Solar Probe
Anthony W. Case, Justin C. Kasper, Michael L. Stevens +18
The Solar Probe Cup (SPC) is a Faraday Cup instrument onboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft designed to make rapid measurements of thermal coronal and solar wind plasm…
The In Situ Signature of Cyclotron Resonant Heating
Trevor A. Bowen, Benjmin D. G. Chandran, Jonathan Squire +9
The dissipation of magnetized turbulence is an important paradigm for describing heating and energy transfer in astrophysical environments such as the solar corona and wind; howeve…
Strong Prevalence of Hammerhead Velocity Distributions Close to the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Srijan Bharati Das, Jaye L. Verniero, Samuel T. Badman +13
The solar wind undergoes non-adiabatic heating as it travels away from the Sun. The velocity phase space distribution of non-equilibrium ions in the solar wind indicate a source of…
Alfvénic versus non-Alfvénic turbulence in the inner heliosphere as observed by Parker Solar Probe
Chen Shi, Marco Velli, Olga Panasenco +20
We make use of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data to explore the nature of solar wind turbulence focusing on the Alfvénic character and power spectra of the fluctuations and their…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of Compound Reconnection Exhaust Boundaries and Mirror-Mode Structures in the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet
Weijie Sun, Tai Phan, Jia Huang +12
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process that can drive rapid conversion of magnetic energy into plasma bulk flows, thermal heating, and particle acceleration in spa…
