Multi-spacecraft observations of the structure of the sheath of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection and related energetic ion enhancement

E. K. J. Kilpua, S. W. Good, N. Dresing +18

Sheaths ahead of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large heliospheric structures that form with CME expansion and propagation. Turbulent and compressed sheaths contribute to the ac…

The solar-wind angular-momentum flux observed during Solar Orbiter's first orbit

Daniel Verscharen, David Stansby, Adam J. Finley +19

Aims: We present the first measurements of the solar-wind angular-momentum (AM) flux recorded by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. Our aim is the validation of these measurements to su…

Kinetic Electrostatic Waves and their Association with Current Structures in the Solar Wind

D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, A. Vaivads +21

A variety of kinetic waves develop in the solar wind. The relationship between these waves and larger-scale structures, such as current sheets and ongoing turbulence remain a topic…
