Intermittent turbulence as the driver of stochastic heating in the near-Sun solar wind

Tamar Ervin, Trevor A. Bowen, Alfred Mallet +9

Understanding the mechanism by which the energy is dissipated at small scales to heat the outer corona and expanding solar wind, is a primary goal of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) m…

Measured energy exchange in coronal hole solar wind from its solar origins to the heliosphere

Yeimy J. Rivera, Alin R. Paraschiv, Samuel T. Badman +33

Coordinated ground- and space-based remote observations are used to provide a comprehensive, multi-perspective view of the solar atmosphere that we connect with in situ measurement…

Wave Emission and Absorption in a Near-Sun Proton-Cyclotron Wave Storm

Kristopher G Klein, Daniel Verscharen, Mihailo Martinovic +5

Quantification of energy transport and dissipation in weakly collisional heliospheric plasmas that are far from local thermodynamic equilibrium is an outstanding scientific problem…

Direct Measurement of Polar Coronal Hole-like Solar Wind in its Acceleration Phase

Samuel T. Badman, Yeimy J. Rivera, Michael L. Stevens +38

The early evolution of fast polar coronal hole (PCH) solar wind remains largely unconstrained by in situ measurements. In March 2025, Parker Solar Probe (Parker) at its closest app…

Statistical Energy Budget of the Solar Wind with Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter : 1 - Unbalanced Total Energy Radial Evolution

Jean-Baptiste Dakeyo, Pascal Démoulin, Victor Réville +9

The magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) description of the solar wind has long been regarded as one of the most successful frameworks for investigating solar wind heating and acceleration.…

Shear interaction and acceleration of a corotating stream detected by Parker Solar Probe

Andrea Verdini, Simone Landi, Emanuele Papini +4

Recent analysis of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter data indicates that fluctuations energy is transferred to the bulk flow in fast streams of the solar wind at heliocent…

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…
