Plasma instability in the front of ejected energetic electrons and Type III solar radiobursts

Vladimir Krasnoselskikh, Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Tom Robert Franck Cooper +7

Type III radio bursts are a signature of the flux of near-relativistic electrons ejected during solar flares. These bursts are frequently observed by spacecraft such as the Parker…

Surface Waves at Switchback Boundaries in the Young Solar Wind from Parker Solar Probe Observations

Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Nina Bizien +2

Switchbacks (SBs) are localized magnetic field deflections in the solar wind, marked by abrupt changes in the magnetic field direction relative to the ambient solar wind. Observati…

Reconstruction of Polarization Properties of Whistler Waves From Two Magnetic and Two Electric Field Components: Application to Parker Solar Probe Measurements

L. Colomban, O. V. Agapitov, V. Krasnoselskikh +8

The search-coil magnetometer (SCM) aboard Parker Solar Probe (PSP) measures the 3 Hz to 1 MHz magnetic field fluctuations. During Encounter 1, the SCM operated as expected; however…

Quantifying the diffusion of suprathermal electrons by whistler waves between 0.2 and 1 AU with Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe

L. Colomban, M. Kretzschmar, V. Krasnoselkikh +7

The evolution of the solar wind electron distribution function with heliocentric distance exhibits different features that are still unexplained, in particular, the increase of the…

Constraints on the Alfvénicity of Switchbacks

O. V. Agapitov, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak +2

Switchbacks (SBs) are localized structures in the solar wind containing deflections of the magnetic field direction relative to the background solar wind magnetic field. The amplit…

Relativistic electron beams accelerated by an interplanetary shock

Immanuel C. Jebaraj, Nina Dresing, Vladimir Krasnoselskikh +16

Collisionless shock waves have long been considered amongst the most prolific particle accelerators in the universe. Shocks alter the plasma they propagate through and often exhibi…

Ion kinetics of plasma interchange reconnection in the lower solar corona

Vladimir Krasnoselskikh, Arnaud Zaslavsky, Anton Artemyev +6

The exploration of the inner heliosphere by Parker Solar Probe has revealed a highly structured solar wind with ubiquitous deflections from the Parker spiral, known as switchbacks.…

Whistler waves generated inside magnetic dips in the young solar wind: observations of the Search-Coil Magnetometer on board Parker Solar Probe

C. Froment, O. V. Agapitov, V. Krasnoselskikh +11

Context. Whistler waves are electromagnetic waves produced by electron-driven instabilities, that in turn can reshape the electron distributions via wave-particle interactions. In…

Density Enhancement Streams in The Solar Wind

F. S. Mozer, O. Agapitov, S. D. Bale +5

This letter describes a new phenomenon on the Parker Solar Probe of recurring plasma density enhancements that have n/n ~10% and that occur at a repetition rate of ~5 Hz. They w…

Flux rope merging and the structure of switchbacks in the solar wind

O. Agapitov, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak +9

A major discovery of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) was the presence of large numbers of localized increases in the radial solar wind speed and associated sharp deflections of the magnet…

Sunward propagating whistler waves collocated with localized magnetic field holes in the solar wind: Parker Solar Probe observations at 35.7 Sun radii

O. V. Agapitov, T. Dudok de Wit, F. S. Mozer +21

Observations by the Parker Solar Probe mission of the solar wind at about 35.7 solar radii reveal the existence of whistler wave packets with frequencies below 0.1 f/fce (20-80 Hz…
