First Observation of a Polar Coronal Hole-like Fast Solar Wind Stream in the Sub-Alfvénic Solar Corona: an Analysis of Turbulence Properties

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Sujan Prasad Gautam, William H. Matthaeus +2

Parker Solar Probe, near its 23rd perihelion in March 2025, sampled an extended interval of sub-Alfvénic solar wind likely originating from a large equatorial coronal hole. At heli…

Direct Measurement of Polar Coronal Hole-like Solar Wind in its Acceleration Phase

Samuel T. Badman, Yeimy J. Rivera, Michael L. Stevens +38

The early evolution of fast polar coronal hole (PCH) solar wind remains largely unconstrained by in situ measurements. In March 2025, Parker Solar Probe (Parker) at its closest app…

Collimation of diamagnetic laser-driven plasma outflows by an ambient magnetic-pressure gradient

Yigeng Tian, Chung Hei Leung, Arijit Bose +3

We present magnetohydrodynamic simulations of laser driven plasma outflows propagating along an externally applied poloidal magnetic field, designed to mimic coronal open-field pla…

Conversion Layer Controls the Evolution of Magnetic Deflections Near the Alfven Surface

Dominic Payne, Mojtaba Akhavan-Tafti, Joshua Goodwill +10

We examine the statistics of Alfvenic deflections in both sub-Alfvenic and super-Alfvenic solar wind with particular focus on a common parameter that underlies the definition of sw…

Tracking the Evolution of Plasma Instabilities from the Prominence-Corona Transition Region into Interplanetary Space with Total Solar Eclipse and WISPR/PSP White Light Images

Shadia R. Habbal, Shaheda Begum Shaik, Zachary Bailey +5

High-resolution total solar eclipse (TSE) white light (WL) images are the only observations at present to capture coronal structures over an uninterrupted field of view (FoV) of at…

Characterization of the Trans-Alfvénic Region Using Observations from Parker Solar Probe

Subash Adhikari, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Joshua Goodwill +14

Close to Earth the solar wind is usually super-Alfvénic, i.e. the speed of the solar wind is much larger than the Alfvén speed. However, in the lower coronal regions, the solar win…
