A robust empirical relationship between speed and turbulence energy in the near-Earth solar wind
Rohit Chhiber, Yanwen Wang, Manuel E. Cuesta +2
The connection between turbulence and solar-wind acceleration, long known in space physics, is further developed in this Letter by establishing a robust empirical law that relates…
von Karman - Howarth Similarity of Spatial Correlations and the Distribution of Correlation Lengths in Solar Photospheric Turbulence
Rohit Chhiber, Raphael Attie, William H. Matthaeus +2
Fluctuations in the Sun's photospheric magnetic field are the primary source of the turbulence that can heat and accelerate the solar atmosphere, and thus play an important role in…
Characterization of the Trans-Alfvénic Region Using Observations from Parker Solar Probe
Subash Adhikari, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Joshua Goodwill +14
Close to Earth the solar wind is usually super-Alfvénic, i.e. the speed of the solar wind is much larger than the Alfvén speed. However, in the lower coronal regions, the solar win…
Multi-spacecraft Measurements of the Evolving Geometry of the Solar Alfvén Surface Over Half a Solar Cycle
Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens, Stuart D. Bale +18
The geometry of a star's Alfvén surface determines stellar angular momentum loss, separates a causally distinct 'corona' and stellar wind, and potentially affects exoplanetary habi…
Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74
The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…
Interplanetary magnetic correlation and low-frequency spectrum over many solar rotations
Jiaming Wang, Francesco Pecora, Rohit Chhiber +2
Fluctuations and structure across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales are frequently studied in the solar wind. The properties of the low-frequency fluctuations are of rele…
The effect of turbulence on the angular momentum of the solar wind
Rohit Chhiber, Arcadi Usmanov, William H. Matthaeus +1
The transfer of a star's angular momentum to its atmosphere is a topic of considerable and wide-ranging interest in astrophysics. This letter considers the effect of kinetic and ma…
