Signatures of Reconnection and a Split Heliospheric Tail in High-Energy Energetic Neutral Atoms
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, J. F. Drake +10
The shape of the heliosphere, regarded as comet-like since the 1960s, has recently been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. There is disagreement whether the heliosph…
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…
Nature of Transonic Sub-Alfvénic Turbulence and Density Fluctuations in the Near-Sun Solar Wind: Insights from Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations and Nearly-Incompressible Models
Giuseppe Arrò, Hui Li, Gary P. Zank +2
Recent Parker Solar Probe measurements have revealed that solar wind (SW) turbulence transits from a subsonic to a transonic regime near the Sun, while remaining sub-Alfvénic. Thes…
Solar Coronal Heating: Role of Kinetic and Inertial Alfvén Waves in Heating and Charged Particle Acceleration
Syed Ayaz, Gary P. Zank, Imran A. Khan +3
A comprehensive understanding of solar coronal heating and charged particle acceleration remains one of the most critical challenges in space and astrophysical plasma physics. In t…
Electromagnetic Electron Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability
H. Che, G. P. Zank
On electron kinetic scales, ions and electrons decouple, and electron velocity shear on electron inertial length can trigger electromagnetic (EM) electron Kelvin-Helmhol…
A study of particle acceleration, heating, power deposition, and the damping length of kinetic Alfvén waves in non-Maxwellian coronal plasma
S. Ayaz, Gary P. Zank, Imran A. Khan +2
The heating of the solar corona and solar wind, through suprathermal particles and kinetic Alfvén waves within the 0 - 10 range, has been a subject of great interest…
