Compressible Turbulence in the Near-Sun Solar Wind: Parker Solar Probe's First Eight Perihelia
Manuel Enrique Cuesta, Rohit Chhiber, Xiangrong Fu +10
Many questions remain about the compressibility of solar wind turbulence with respect to its origins and properties. Low plasma beta (ratio of thermal to magnetic pressure) environ…
Nature and Scalings of Density Fluctuations of Compressible MHD Turbulence with Applications to the Solar Wind
Xiangrong Fu, Hui Li, Zhaoming Gan +2
The solar wind is a magnetized and turbulent plasma. Its turbulence is often dominated by Alfvénic fluctuations and often deemed as nearly incompressible far away from the Sun, as…
Double-power-law feature of energetic particles accelerated at coronal shocks
Feiyu Yu, Xiangliang Kong, Fan Guo +4
Recent observations have shown that in many large solar energetic particle (SEP) events the event-integrated differential spectra resemble double power laws. We perform numerical m…
Measurement of magnetic field and relativistic electrons along a solar flare current sheet
Bin Chen, Chengcai Shen, Dale E. Gary +8
In the standard model of solar flares, a large-scale reconnection current sheet is postulated as the central engine for powering the flare energy release and accelerating particles…
The Acceleration and Confinement of Energetic Electrons by a Termination Shock in a Magnetic Trap: An Explanation for Nonthermal Loop-top Sources during Solar Flares
Xiangliang Kong, Fan Guo, Chengcai Shen +6
Nonthermal loop-top sources in solar flares are the most prominent observational signature that suggests energy release and particle acceleration in the solar corona. Although seve…
Radio Spectroscopic Imaging of a Solar Flare Termination Shock: Split-Band Feature as Evidence for Shock Compression
Bin Chen, Chengcai Shen, Katharine K. Reeves +2
Solar flare termination shocks have been suggested as one of the promising drivers for particle acceleration in solar flares, yet observational evidence remains rare. By utilizing…
