Switchbacks: statistical properties and deviations from alfvénicity

A. Larosa, V. Krasnoselskikh, T. Dudok de Witınst +16

{Parker Solar Probe's first solar encounter has revealed the presence of sudden magnetic field deflections that are called switchbacks and are associated with proton velocity enhan…

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…

Electron heat flux in the near-Sun environment

J. S. Halekas, P. L. Whittlesey, D. E. Larson +15

We survey the electron heat flux observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) in the near-Sun environment at heliocentric distances of 0.125-0.25 AU. We utilized measurements from the…

Detection of small magnetic flux ropes from the third and fourth Parker Solar Probe encounters

L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, Q. Hu +22

We systematically search for magnetic flux rope structures in the solar wind to within the closest distance to the Sun of 0.13 AU, using data from the third and fourth orbits of th…

The Solar Wind Angular Momentum Flux as Observed by Parker Solar Probe

Adam J. Finley, Sean P. Matt, Victor Réville +9

The long-term evolution of the Sun's rotation period cannot be directly observed, and is instead inferred from trends in the measured rotation periods of other Sun-like stars. Assu…

Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the First two Parker Solar Probe Encounters

Yu Chen, Qiang Hu, Lingling Zhao +15

Small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SFRs) are a type of structures in the solar wind that possess helical magnetic field lines. In a recent report (Chen & Hu 2020), we presented the r…
