Proton and Alpha Driven Instabilities in an Ion Cyclotron Wave Event
Michael D. McManus, Kristopher G. Klein, Davin Larson +8
Ion scale wave events or "wave storms" in the solar wind are characterised by enhancements in magnetic field fluctuations as well as coherent magnetic field polarisation signatures…
Are Switchback boundaries observed by Parker Solar Probe closed?
Nina Bizien, Thierry Dudok de Wit, Clara Froment +7
Switchbacks are sudden and large deflections in the magnetic field that Parker Solar Probe frequently observes in the inner heliosphere. Their ubiquitous occurrence has prompted nu…
Estimates of Proton and Electron Heating Rates Extended to the Near-Sun Environment
R. Bandyopadhyay, C. M. Meyer, W. H. Matthaeus +11
A central problem of space plasma physics is how protons and electrons are heated in a turbulent, magnetized plasma. The differential heating of charged species due to dissipation…
Reimagining Heliophysics: A bold new vision for the next decade and beyond
Ian J. Cohen, Dan Baker, Jacob Bortnik +25
The field of Heliophysics has a branding problem. We need an answer to the question: ``What is Heliophysics\?'', the answer to which should clearly and succinctly defines our scien…
HelioSwarm: A Multipoint, Multiscale Mission to Characterize Turbulence
Kristopher G. Klein, Harlan Spence, Olga Alexandrova +47
HelioSwarm (HS) is a NASA Medium-Class Explorer mission of the Heliophysics Division designed to explore the dynamic three-dimensional mechanisms controlling the physics of plasma…
Multi-point Assessment of the Kinematics of Shocks (MAKOS): A Heliophysics Mission Concept Study
Katherine A. Goodrich, Lynn B. Wilson, Steven Schwartz +6
Collisionless shocks are fundamental processes that are ubiquitous in space plasma physics throughout the Heliosphere and most astrophysical environments. Earth's bow shock and int…
The Persistent Mystery of Collisionless Shocks
Katherine Goodrich, Steven Schwartz, Lynn Wilson +14
Collisionless shock waves are one of the main forms of energy conversion in space plasmas. They can directly or indirectly drive other universal plasma processes such as magnetic r…
The Temperature, Electron, and Pressure Characteristics of Switchbacks: Parker Solar Probe Observations
Jia Huang, Justin C. Kasper, Davin E. Larson +19
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observes unexpectedly prevalent switchbacks, which are rapid magnetic field reversals that last from seconds to hours, in the inner heliosphere, posing new…
Quantifying the Energy Budget in the Solar Wind from 13.3-100 Solar Radii
J. S. Halekas, S. D. Bale, M. Berthomier +10
A variety of energy sources, ranging from dynamic processes like magnetic reconnection and waves to quasi-steady terms like the plasma pressure, may contribute to the acceleration…
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…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of High Plasma Beta Solar Wind from Streamer Belt
Jia Huang, J. C. Kasper, Davin E. Larson +23
In general, slow solar wind from the streamer belt forms a high plasma beta equatorial plasma sheet around the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing, namely the heliospheric pl…
The Structure and Origin of Switchbacks: Parker Solar Probe Observations
Jia Huang, J. C. Kasper, L. A. Fisk +25
Switchbacks are rapid magnetic field reversals that last from seconds to hours. Current Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations pose many open questions in regard to the nature of sw…
