Switchbacks: statistical properties and deviations from alfvénicity
A. Larosa, V. Krasnoselskikh, T. Dudok de Witınst +16
{Parker Solar Probe's first solar encounter has revealed the presence of sudden magnetic field deflections that are called switchbacks and are associated with proton velocity enhan…
Encounter of Parker Solar Probe and a Comet-like Object During Their Perihelia: Model Predictions and Measurements
Jiansen He, Bo Cui, Liping Yang +15
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) aims at exploring the nascent solar wind close to the Sun. Meanwhile, PSP is also expected to encounter small objects like comets and asteroids. In this wo…
The Contribution of Alpha Particles to the Solar Wind Angular Momentum Flux in the Inner Heliosphere
Adam J. Finley, Michael D. McManus, Sean P. Matt +14
An accurate assessment of the Sun's angular momentum (AM) loss rate is an independent constraint for models that describe the rotation evolution of Sun-like stars. In-situ measurem…
Wave-particle energy transfer directly observed in an ion cyclotron wave
Daniel Vech, Mihailo M. Martinovic, Kristopher G. Klein +21
Context. The first studies with Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data have made significant progress toward the understanding of the fundamental properties of ion cyclotron waves in the in…
Electron heat flux in the near-Sun environment
J. S. Halekas, P. L. Whittlesey, D. E. Larson +15
We survey the electron heat flux observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) in the near-Sun environment at heliocentric distances of 0.125-0.25 AU. We utilized measurements from the…
Detection of small magnetic flux ropes from the third and fourth Parker Solar Probe encounters
L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, Q. Hu +22
We systematically search for magnetic flux rope structures in the solar wind to within the closest distance to the Sun of 0.13 AU, using data from the third and fourth orbits of th…
