Radial evolution of thermal and suprathermal electron populations in the slow solar wind from 0.13 to 0.5 au : Parker Solar Probe Observations
Joel B. Abraham, Christopher J Owen, Daniel Verscharen +8
We develop and apply a bespoke fitting routine to a large volume of solar wind electron distribution data measured by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) over its first five orbits, covering…
The Stability of the Electron Strahl against the Oblique Fast-magnetosonic/Whistler Instability in the Inner Heliosphere
Seong-Yeop Jeong, Joel B. Abraham, Daniel Verscharen +8
We analyze the micro-kinetic stability of the electron strahl in the solar wind depending on heliocentric distance. The oblique fast-magnetosonic/whistler (FM/W) instability has em…
Ambipolar electric field and potential in the solar wind estimated from electron velocity distribution functions
Laura Bercic, Milan Maksimovic, Jasper S. Halekas +17
The solar wind escapes from the solar corona and is accelerated, over a short distance, to its terminal velocity. The energy balance associated with this acceleration remains poorl…
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…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of Suprathermal Electron Flux Enhancements Originating from Coronal Hole Boundaries
Allan R Macneil, Mathew J Owens, Laura Berčič +1
Reconnection between pairs of solar magnetic flux elements, one open and the other a closed loop, is theorised to be a crucial process for both maintaining the structure of the cor…
Coronal Electron Temperature inferred from the Strahl Electrons in the Inner Heliosphere: Parker Solar Probe and Helios observations
Laura Bercic, Davin Larson, Phyllis Whittlesey +17
The shape of the electron velocity distribution function plays an important role in the dynamics of the solar wind acceleration. Electrons are normally modelled with three componen…
