Solitary Alfvén Waves
Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Chen Shi +1
We present the solitary Alfvén wave as an ideal nonlinear Alfvénic solution in the solitary far-field limit and construct a three-dimensional numerical model -- an \emph{Alfvénon}.…
In situ observations of large amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +16
After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements fr…
Coronal Heating Rate in the Slow Solar Wind
Daniele Telloni, Marco Romoli, Marco Velli +59
This Letter reports the first observational estimate of the heating rate in the slowly expanding solar corona. The analysis exploits the simultaneous remote and local observations…
The Radial Distribution of Ion-scale Waves in the Inner Heliosphere
Wen Liu, Jinsong Zhao, Tieyan Wang +5
Determining the mechanism responsible for the plasma heating and particle acceleration is a fundamental problem in the study of the heliosphere. Due to efficient wave-particle inte…
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…
Dispersive and kinetic effects on kinked Alfvén wave packets: a comparative study with fluid and hybrid models
Anna Tenerani, Carlos González, Nikos Sioulas +2
We investigate dispersive and kinetic effects on the evolution of a two-dimensional kinked Alfvén wave packet by comparing results from MHD, Hall-MHD and hybrid simulations of a lo…
