Solar Wind Structures from the Gaussianity of Magnetic Magnitude
Zesen Huang, Chen Shi, Marco Velli +9
One of the primary science objectives of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is to determine the structures and dynamics of the plasma and magnetic fields at the sources of the solar wind. Ho…
Proton and Alpha Driven Instabilities in an Ion Cyclotron Wave Event
Michael D. McManus, Kristopher G. Klein, Davin Larson +8
Ion scale wave events or "wave storms" in the solar wind are characterised by enhancements in magnetic field fluctuations as well as coherent magnetic field polarisation signatures…
Compositional metrics of fast and slow Alfvenic solar wind emerging from coronal holes and their boundaries
Tamar Ervin, Stuart D. Bale, Samuel T. Badman +7
We seek to understand the composition and variability of fast (FSW) and slow Alfvenic solar wind (SASW) emerging from coronal holes (CH). We leverage an opportune conjunction betwe…
Mediation of Collisionless Turbulent Dissipation Through Cyclotron Resonance
Trevor A. Bowen, Stuart D. Bale, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +6
The dissipation of magnetized turbulence is fundamental to understanding energy transfer and heating in astrophysical systems. Collisionless interactions, such as resonant wave-par…
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…
Effect of Spherical Polarization on the Magnetic Spectrum of the Solar Wind
Corina Dunn, Trevor Bowen, Alfred Mallet +2
Magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind are often observed to maintain constant magnitude of the magnetic field in a manner consistent with spherically-polarized large-amplitude Al…
Nonlinear dynamics of small-scale Alfvén waves
Alfred Mallet, Seth Dorfman, Mel Abler +2
We study the nonlinear evolution of very oblique small-scale Alfvén waves with . At these scales, the waves become significantly compressive, unlike in MHD, d…
The Evolution of the 1/f Range Within a Single Fast-Solar-Wind Stream Between 17.4 and 45.7 Solar Radii
Nooshin Davis, B. D. G. Chandran, T. A. Bowen +7
The power spectrum of magnetic-field fluctuations in the fast solar wind ($V_{\rm SW}> 500 \mbox{ km} \mbox{ s}^{-1}$) at magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scales is characterized by two d…
New Observations of Solar Wind 1/f Turbulence Spectrum from Parker Solar Probe
Zesen Huang, Nikos Sioulas, Chen Shi +22
The trace magnetic power spectrum in the solar wind is known to be characterized by a double power law at scales much larger than the proton gyro-radius, with flatter spectral expo…
Parker Solar Probe: Four Years of Discoveries at Solar Cycle Minimum
N. E. Raouafi, L. Matteini, J. Squire +54
Launched on 12 Aug. 2018, NASA's Parker Solar Probe had completed 13 of its scheduled 24 orbits around the Sun by Nov. 2022. The mission's primary science goal is to determine the…
On the evolution of the Anisotropic Scaling of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Inner Heliosphere
Nikos Sioulas, Marco Velli, Zesen Huang +19
We analyze a merged Parker Solar Probe () and Solar Orbiter () dataset covering heliocentric distances to investigate…
