The Kinetic Expansion of Solar-Wind Electrons: Transport Theory and Predictions for the very Inner Heliosphere
Seong-Yeop Jeong, Daniel Verscharen, Christian Vocks +9
We propose a transport theory for the kinetic evolution of solar-wind electrons in the heliosphere. We derive a gyro-averaged kinetic transport equation that accounts for the spher…
The rotation angle distribution underlying magnetic field fluctuations in the 1/f range of solar wind turbulent spectra
L. Matteini, D. Stansby, T. S. Horbury +1
We discuss properties of large amplitude magnetic field fluctuations during fast Alfvenic solar wind streams, focussing on the statistics of the rotation angle between consecutive…
The origin of slow Alfvénic solar wind at solar minimum
D. Stansby, L. Matteini, T. S. Horbury +3
Although the origins of slow solar wind are unclear, there is increasing evidence that at least some of it is released in a steady state on over-expanded coronal hole magnetic fiel…
On the 1/f spectrum in the solar wind and its connection with magnetic compressibility
Lorenzo Matteini, David Stansby, Timothy Horbury +1
We discuss properties of Alfvénic fluctuations with large amplitude in plasmas characterised by low magnetic field compression. We note that in such systems power laws can not deve…
Alpha particle thermodynamics in the inner heliosphere fast solar wind
D. Stansby, D. Perrone, L. Matteini +2
Plasma processes occurring in the corona and solar wind can be probed by studying the thermodynamic properties of different ion species. However, most in-situ observations of posit…
Radial evolution of the solar wind in pure high-speed streams: HELIOS revised observations
D. Perrone, D. Stansby, T. Horbury +1
Spacecraft observations have shown that the proton temperature in the solar wind falls off with radial distance more slowly than expected for an adiabatic prediction. Usually, prev…
