Radial evolution of thermal and suprathermal electron populations in the slow solar wind from 0.13 to 0.5 au : Parker Solar Probe Observations
Joel B. Abraham, Christopher J Owen, Daniel Verscharen +8
We develop and apply a bespoke fitting routine to a large volume of solar wind electron distribution data measured by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) over its first five orbits, covering…
Direct evidence of magnetic reconnection onset via the tearing instability
Mayur R. Bakrania, I. Jonathan Rae, Andrew P. Walsh +4
Magnetic reconnection is a sporadic process responsible for energy release in space and laboratory plasmas. It is believed that the tearing mode instability may be responsible for…
The Stability of the Electron Strahl against the Oblique Fast-magnetosonic/Whistler Instability in the Inner Heliosphere
Seong-Yeop Jeong, Joel B. Abraham, Daniel Verscharen +8
We analyze the micro-kinetic stability of the electron strahl in the solar wind depending on heliocentric distance. The oblique fast-magnetosonic/whistler (FM/W) instability has em…
The Kinetic Expansion of Solar-Wind Electrons: Transport Theory and Predictions for the very Inner Heliosphere
Seong-Yeop Jeong, Daniel Verscharen, Christian Vocks +9
We propose a transport theory for the kinetic evolution of solar-wind electrons in the heliosphere. We derive a gyro-averaged kinetic transport equation that accounts for the spher…
Using dimensionality reduction and clustering techniques to classify space plasma regimes
Mayur R. Bakrania, I. Jonathan Rae, Andrew P. Walsh +2
Collisionless space plasma environments are typically characterised by distinct particle populations. Although moments of their velocity distribution functions help in distinguishi…
Statistics of Solar Wind Electron Breakpoint Energies Using Machine Learning Techniques
Mayur R. Bakrania, I. Jonathan Rae, Andrew P. Walsh +4
Solar wind electron velocity distributions at 1 au consist of a thermal "core" population and two suprathermal populations: "halo" and "strahl". The core and halo are quasi-isotrop…
