Observations of Energetic-Particle Population Enhancements along Intermittent Structures near the Sun from Parker Solar Probe

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, W. H. Matthaeus, T. N. Parashar +31

Observations at 1 au have confirmed that enhancements in measured energetic particle fluxes are statistically associated with "rough" magnetic fields, i.e., fields having atypicall…

Cross Helicity Reversals In Magnetic Switchbacks

Michael D. McManus, Trevor A. Bowen, Alfred Mallet +17

We consider 2D joint distributions of normalised residual energy and cross helicity during one day of Parker Solar Probe's (PSP's) first encounter as a functi…

Enhanced Energy Transfer Rate in Solar Wind Turbulence Observed near the Sun from Parker Solar Probe

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, M. L. Goldstein, B. A. Maruca +25

Direct evidence of an inertial-range turbulent energy cascade has been provided by spacecraft observations in heliospheric plasmas. In the solar wind, the average value of the deri…

Kinetic Scale Spectral Features of Cross Helicity and Residual Energy in the Inner Heliosphere

Daniel Vech, Justin C. Kasper, Kristopher G. Klein +17

In this Paper, we present the first results from the Flux Angle operation mode of the Faraday Cup instrument onboard Parker Solar Probe. The Flux Angle mode allows rapid measuremen…

Measures of Scale Dependent Alfvénicity in the First PSP Solar Encounter

T. N. Parashar, M. L. Goldstein, B. A. Maruca +25

The solar wind shows periods of highly Alfvénic activity, where velocity fluctuations and magnetic fluctuations are aligned or anti-aligned with each other. It is generally agreed…

Switchbacks in the solar magnetic field: their evolution, their content, and their effects on the plasma, V2

F. S. Mozer1, O. V. Agapitov1, S. D. Bale1 +19

Switchbacks (rotations of the magnetic field) are observed on the Parker Solar Probe. Their evolution, content, and plasma effects are studied in this paper. The solar wind does no…

Observations of heating along intermittent structures in the inner heliosphere from PSP data

R. A. Qudsi, B. A. Maruca, W. H. Matthaeus +22

The solar wind proton temperature at 1-au has been found to be correlated with small-scale intermittent magnetic structures, i.e., regions with enhanced temperature are associated…

Clustering of Intermittent Magnetic and Flow Structures near Parker Solar Probe's First Perihelion -- A Partial-Variance-of-Increments Analysis

Rohit Chhiber, M. Goldstein, B. Maruca +23

During the Parker Solar Probe's (PSP) first perihelion pass, the spacecraft reached within a heliocentric distance of \(\sim 37~R_\odot\) and observed numerous magnetic and flow st…

Time domain structures and dust in the solar vicinity: Parker Solar Probe observations

F. S. Mozer, O. V. Agapitov, S. D. Bale +9

On April 5, 2019, while the Parker Solar Probe was at its 35 solar radius perihelion, the data set collected at 293 samples/sec contained more than 10,000 examples of spiky electri…

Magnetic field kinks and folds in the solar wind

Anna Tenerani, Marco Velli, Lorenzo Matteini +18

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations during its first encounter at 35.7 have shown the presence of magnetic field lines which are strongly perturbed to the point that th…

Predicting the Solar Wind at Parker Solar Probe Using an Empirically Driven MHD Model

T. K. Kim, N. V. Pogorelov, C. N. Arge +20

Since the launch on 2018/08/12, Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has completed its first and second orbits around the Sun, having reached down to 35.7 solar radii at each perihelion. In an…

Identification of Magnetic Flux Ropes from Parker Solar Probe Observations during the First Encounter

L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, L. Adhikari +17

The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) event during its first orbit around the sun, among many other events. This event is analyzed by…

Plasma Waves near the Electron Cyclotron Frequency in the near-Sun Solar Wind

David M. Malaspina, Jasper Halekas, Laura Bercic +17

Data from the first two orbits of the Sun by Parker Solar Probe reveal that the solar wind sunward of 50 solar radii is replete with plasma waves and instabilities. One of the most…

Proton Temperature Anisotropy Variations in Inner Heliosphere Estimated with First Parker Solar Probe Observations

Jia Huang, Justin C. Kasper, Daniel Vech +27

We report proton temperature anisotropy variations in the inner heliosphere with Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations. Using a linear fitting method, we derive proton temperature…
