Parker Solar Probe Observations of Preferential Heating of Protons over Alpha Particles near Turbulent Coherent Structures
Jiayang Xi, Tieyan Wang, Daniel Verscharen +15
Solar wind alpha particles exhibit preferential heating and acceleration relative to protons; however, their behavior in the vicinity of turbulent coherent structures remains less…
Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74
The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…
Turbulence in the terrestrial magnetosheath: space-time correlation using the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission
Francesco Pecora, William H. Matthaeus, Antonella Greco +4
Spatiotemporal correlation of magnetic field fluctuations is investigated using the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission in the terrestrial magnetosheath. The first observation of the…
Revisiting compressible and incompressible pressure-strain interaction in kinetic plasma turbulence
Subash Adhikari, Yan Yang, William H. Matthaeus
In this study, we revisit the pressure-strain interaction in kinetic turbulence, and in particular we re-examine the decomposition of pressure-strain interaction into compressive a…
