Turbulence, Waves, and Taylor's Hypothesis for Heliosheath Observations
L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, M. Opher +6
Magnetic field fluctuations measured in the heliosheath by the Voyager spacecraft are often characterized as compressible, as indicated by a strong fluctuating component parallel t…

Characterization of Turbulent Fluctuations in the Sub-Alfvenic Solar Wind
Gary P. Zank, Lingling Zhao, Laxman Adhikari +8
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed sub-Alfvenic solar wind intervals during encounters 8 - 14, and low-frequency magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in these regions may differ from that…

Regulation of Proton- Differential Flow by Compressive Fluctuations and Ion-scale Instabilities in the Solar Wind
Xingyu Zhu, Daniel Verscharen, Jiansen He +2
Large-scale compressive slow-mode-like fluctuations can cause variations in the density, temperature, and magnetic-field magnitude in the solar wind. In addition, they also lead to…
