On the Radial Evolution of the Solar Wind : The Source Alignment Method Applied to Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter Observations

Jean-Baptiste Dakeyo, Tamar Ervin, Stuart Bale +10

The properties of the solar wind, as measured in situ throughout the heliosphere, depend both on the characteristics of its coronal source and on the intrinsic processes governing…

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Compound Reconnection Exhaust Boundaries and Mirror-Mode Structures in the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet

Weijie Sun, Tai Phan, Jia Huang +12

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process that can drive rapid conversion of magnetic energy into plasma bulk flows, thermal heating, and particle acceleration in spa…

Strong Prevalence of Hammerhead Velocity Distributions Close to the Heliospheric Current Sheet

Srijan Bharati Das, Jaye L. Verniero, Samuel T. Badman +13

The solar wind undergoes non-adiabatic heating as it travels away from the Sun. The velocity phase space distribution of non-equilibrium ions in the solar wind indicate a source of…

Solar Wind Heating Near the Sun: A Radial Evolution Approach

Yogesh, Leon Ofman, Kristopher Klein +19

Characterizing the plasma state in the near-Sun environment is essential to constrain the mechanisms that heat and accelerate the solar wind. In this study, we use Parker Solar Pro…

Conversion Layer Controls the Evolution of Magnetic Deflections Near the Alfven Surface

Dominic Payne, Mojtaba Akhavan-Tafti, Joshua Goodwill +10

We examine the statistics of Alfvenic deflections in both sub-Alfvenic and super-Alfvenic solar wind with particular focus on a common parameter that underlies the definition of sw…

Free Energy Sources of Ion-scale Waves Observed by Parker Solar Probe

Niranjana Shankarappa, Kristopher G. Klein, Mihailo M. Martinović +6

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observes abundant circularly polarized ion-scale waves throughout the inner heliosphere. These waves are a signature of the interplay between plasma microi…
