Differentiating the acceleration mechanisms in the slow and Alfvénic slow solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, J. L. Verniero +18
In the corona, plasma is accelerated to hundreds of kilometers per second, and heated to temperatures hundreds of times hotter than the Sun's surface, before it escapes to form the…
In situ observations of large amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +16
After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements fr…
Magnetic reconnection as a mechanism to produce multiple protonpopulations and beams locally in the solar wind
B. Lavraud, R. Kieokaew, N. Fargette +37
Context. Spacecraft observations early revealed frequent multiple proton populations in the solar wind. Decades of research on their origin have focused on processes such as magnet…
Plasma Properties, Switchback Patches and Low -Particle Abundance in Slow Alfvénic Coronal Hole Wind at 0.13 au
Thomas Woolley, Lorenzo Matteini, Michael D. McManus +8
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission presents a unique opportunity to study the near-Sun solar wind closer than any previous spacecraft. During its fourth and fifth solar encounter…
Signatures of coronal hole substructure in the solar wind: combined Solar Orbiter remote sensing and in situ measurements
T. S. Horbury, R. Laker, L. Rodriguez +21
Context. The Sun's complex corona is the source of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field. While the large scale morphology is well understood, the impact of variations i…
Solar Orbiter Observations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability in the Solar Wind
R. Kieokaew, B. Lavraud, Y. Yang +17
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) is a nonlinear shear-driven instability that develops at the interface between shear flows in plasmas. KHI has been inferred in various astro…
Enhanced proton parallel temperature inside patches of switchbacks in the inner heliosphere
L. D. Woodham, T. S. Horbury, L. Matteini +16
Switchbacks are discrete angular deflections in the solar wind magnetic field that have been observed throughout the heliosphere. Recent observations by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) ha…
Three Dimensional Simulations of Solar Wind Preconditioning and the 23 July 2012 Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection
Ravindra T. Desai, Han Zhang, Emma E. Davies +3
Predicting the large-scale eruptions from the solar corona and their propagation through interplanetary space remains an outstanding challenge in solar- and helio-physics research.…
