Ion-Driven Instabilities in the Inner Heliosphere II: Classification and Multi-Dimensional Mapping
Mihailo M. Martinovic, Kristopher G. Klein
Linear theory is a well developed framework for characterizing instabilities in weakly collisional plasmas, such as the solar wind. In the previous instalment of this series, we an…
Total Electron Temperature Derived from Quasi-Thermal Noise Spectroscopy In the Pristine Solar Wind: Parker Solar Probe Observations
M. Liu, K. Issautier, M. Moncuquet +11
The Quasi-thermal noise (QTN) technique is a reliable tool to yield accurate measurements of the electron parameters in the solar wind. We apply this method on Parker Solar Probe (…
Ion-Driven Instabilities in the Inner Heliosphere I: Statistical Trends
Mihailo M. Martinovic, Kristopher G. Klein, Tereza Durovcova +1
Instabilities described by linear theory characterize an important form of wave-particle interaction in the solar wind. We diagnose unstable behavior of solar wind plasma between 0…
How Alfvén waves energize the solar wind: heat vs work
Jean C. Perez, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Kristopher G. Klein +1
A growing body of evidence suggests that the solar wind is powered to a large extent by an Alfvén-wave (AW) energy flux. AWs energize the solar wind via two mechanisms: heating and…
Inferred Linear Stability of Parker Solar Probe Observations using One- and Two-Component Proton Distributions
K. G. Klein, J. L. Verniero, B. Alterman +12
The hot and diffuse nature of the Sun's extended atmosphere allows it to persist in non-equilibrium states for long enough that wave-particle instabilities can arise and modify the…
The Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action
I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182
Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…
Linear Stability in the Inner Heliosphere: Helios Reëvaluated
Kristopher G. Klein, Mihailo Martinovic, David Stansby +1
Wave-particle instabilities driven by departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium have been conjectured to play a role in governing solar wind dynamics. We calculate the statis…
