The Temperature, Electron, and Pressure Characteristics of Switchbacks: Parker Solar Probe Observations

Jia Huang, Justin C. Kasper, Davin E. Larson +19

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observes unexpectedly prevalent switchbacks, which are rapid magnetic field reversals that last from seconds to hours, in the inner heliosphere, posing new…

Parker Solar Probe Observations of High Plasma Beta Solar Wind from Streamer Belt

Jia Huang, J. C. Kasper, Davin E. Larson +23

In general, slow solar wind from the streamer belt forms a high plasma beta equatorial plasma sheet around the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing, namely the heliospheric pl…

The Structure and Origin of Switchbacks: Parker Solar Probe Observations

Jia Huang, J. C. Kasper, L. A. Fisk +25

Switchbacks are rapid magnetic field reversals that last from seconds to hours. Current Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations pose many open questions in regard to the nature of sw…

Multi-spacecraft Analysis of the Properties of Magnetohydrodynamic Fluctuations in Sub-Alfvénic Solar Wind Turbulence at 1 AU

S. Q. Zhao, Huirong Yan, Terry Z. Liu +2

We present three-dimensional magnetic power spectra in wavevector space to investigate anisotropy and scalings of sub-Alfvénic solar wind turbulence at magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) sc…

Observations of an Electron-cold Ion Component Reconnection at the Edge of an Ion-scale Antiparallel Reconnection at the Dayside Magnetopause

S. Q. Zhao, H. Zhang, Terry Z. Liu +11

Solar wind parameters play a dominant role in reconnection rate, which controls the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling efficiency at Earth's magnetopause. Besides, low-energy ions f…

Analysis of Magnetohydrodynamic Perturbations in Radial-field Solar Wind from Parker Solar Probe Observations

S. Q. Zhao, Huirong Yan, Terry Z. Liu +2

We report analysis of sub-Alfvénic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) perturbations in the low-\b{eta} radial-field solar wind using the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft data from 31 October t…

Determination of Solar Wind Angular Momentum and Alfvén Radius from Parker Solar Probe Observations

Ying D. Liu, Chong Chen, Michael L. Stevens +1

As fundamental parameters of the Sun, the Alfvén radius and angular momentum loss determine how the solar wind changes from sub-Alfvénic to super-Alfvénic and how the Sun spins dow…

PIC simulations of microinstabilities and waves at near-Sun solar wind perpendicular shocks: Predictions for Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter

Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, Shuichi Matsukiyo +6

Microinstabilities and waves excited at moderate-Mach-number perpendicular shocks in the near-Sun solar wind are investigated by full particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. By analyzi…

Kinetic Properties of an Interplanetary Shock Propagating inside a Coronal Mass Ejection

Mingzhe Liu, Ying D. Liu, Zhongwei Yang +2

We investigate the kinetic properties of a typical fast-mode shock inside an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) observed on 1998 August 6 at 1 AU, including particle distr…
