Parker Solar Probe Observations of Helical Structures as Boundaries for Energetic Particles
F. Pecora, S. Servidio, A. Greco +15
Energetic particle transport in the interplanetary medium is known to be affected by magnetic structures. It has been demonstrated for solar energetic particles in near-Earth orbit…
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…
On the Identification of Coherent Structures in Space Plasmas: the Magnetic Helicity-PVI Method
F. Pecora, S. Servidio, A. Greco +1
Plasma turbulence can be viewed as a magnetic landscape populated by large and small scale coherent structures. In this complex network, large helical magnetic tubes might be separ…
Statistical analysis of ions in two-dimensional plasma turbulence
Francesco Pecora, Francesco Pucci, Giovanni Lapenta +2
The statistical properties of ions in two-dimensional fully developed turbulence have been compared between two different numerical algorithms. In particular, we compare Hybrid Par…
Single-spacecraft identification of flux tubes and current sheets in the Solar Wind: combined PVI and Grad-Shafronov method
Francesco Pecora, Antonella Greco, Qiang Hu +3
A novel technique is presented for describing and visualizing the local topology of the magnetic field using single-spacecraft data in the solar wind. The approach merges two estab…
Ion Diffusion and Acceleration in Plasma Turbulence
Francesco Pecora, Sergio Servidio, Antonella Greco +5
Particle transport, acceleration and energisation are phenomena of major importance for both space and laboratory plasmas. Despite years of study, an accurate theoretical descripti…
