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…

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…

Evidence of Interaction between Ion-Scale Waves and Ion Velocity Distributions in the Solar Wind

Yogesh, Leon Ofman, Scott A Boardsen +9

Recent in situ observations from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) near perihelia reveal ion beams, temperature anisotropies, and kinetic wave activity. These features are likely linked to…

Modeling hot, anisotropic ion beams in the solar wind motivated by the Parker Solar Probe observations near perihelia

Leon Ofman, Yogesh, Scott A Boardsen +5

Recent observations of the solar wind ions by the SPAN-I instruments on board the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft at solar perihelia (Encounters) 4 and closer find ample eviden…

Estimated Heating Rates Due to Cyclotron Damping of Ion-scale Waves Observed by Parker Solar Probe

Niranjana Shankarappa, Kristopher Klein, Mihailo Martinovic +1

Circularly polarized waves consistent with parallel-propagating ion cyclotron waves (ICWs) and fast magnetosonic waves (FMWs) are often observed by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) at ion…
