Decay of space plasma turbulence downstream of bow shocks: MMS magnetosheath unbiased campaign observations

Victor Montagud-Camps, Petr Hellinger, Sergio Toledo-Redondo +8

Turbulence properties in the solar wind change with increasing heliospheric distance. Observations from different missions have shown how spectral indices converge towards a $f^{-5…

A Tale of Two Shocks

Robert F. Wimmer-Schweingruber, Domenico Trotta, Rungployphan Kieokaew +23

Energetic particles in interplanetary space are normally measured at time scales that are long compared to the ion gyroperiod. Such observations by necessity average out the microp…

Large Scale Linear Magnetic Holes with Magnetic Mirror Properties in Hybrid Simulations of Solar Wind Turbulence

Giuseppe Arrò, Francesco Califano, Francesco Pucci +2

Magnetic holes (MHs) are coherent magnetic field dips whose size ranges from fluid to kinetic scale, ubiquitously observed in the heliosphere and in planetary environments. Despite…

Comparative study of the kinetic properties of proton and alpha beams in the Alfvénic wind observed by SWA-PAS onboard Solar Orbiter

Roberto Bruno, Rossana DeMarco, Raffaella D Amicis +12

The problems of heating and acceleration of solar wind particles are of significant and enduring interest in astrophysics. The interactions between waves and particles are crucial…

Does Turbulence along the Coronal Current Sheet Drive Ion Cyclotron Waves?

Daniele Telloni, Gary P. Zank, Laxman Adhikari +32

Evidence for the presence of ion cyclotron waves, driven by turbulence, at the boundaries of the current sheet is reported in this paper. By exploiting the full potential of the jo…

Observation of Magnetic Switchback in the Solar Corona

Daniele Telloni, Gary P. Zank, Marco Stangalini +49

Switchbacks are sudden, large radial deflections of the solar wind magnetic field, widely revealed in interplanetary space by the Parker Solar Probe. The switchbacks' formation mec…

Exploring the Solar Wind from its Source on the Corona into the Inner Heliosphere during the First Solar Orbiter - Parker Solar Probe Quadrature

Daniele Telloni, Vincenzo Andretta, Ester Antonucci +68

This Letter addresses the first Solar Orbiter (SO) -- Parker Solar Probe (PSP) quadrature, occurring on January 18, 2021, to investigate the evolution of solar wind from the extend…

Turbulent cascade and energy transfer rate in a solar coronal mass ejection

Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Emiliya Yordanova, Andrew P. Dimmock +1

Turbulence properties are examined before, during and after a coronal mass ejection (CME) detected by the6Wind spacecraft on July 2012. The power-law scaling of the structure funct…

Current sheets, plasmoids and flux ropes in the heliosphere. Part II: Theoretical aspects

O. Pezzi, F. Pecora, J. le Roux +13

Our understanding of processes occurring in the heliosphere historically began with reduced dimensionality - one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) sketches and models, whic…

Coherent events at ion scales in the inner Heliosphere: \textit{Parker Solar Probe} observations during the first Encounter

Denise Perrone, Roberto Bruno, Raffaella D'Amicis +7

\textit{Parker Solar Probe} has shown the ubiquitous presence of strong magnetic field deflections, namely switchbacks, during its first perihelion where it was embedded in a highl…

The Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action

I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182

Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…
