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…
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…
Evolution of lunar wake potentials: structure, energy conversion, and their imprints on velocity distributions
Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos, Jasper S. Halekas +4
We study the evolution of electric potentials in the lunar wake. The wake potential exhibits two distinct spatial scales. The macroscopic scale arises from solar wind expansion int…
Simultaneous Mars-orbit observations reveal Kelvin-Helmholtz instability-driven bulk atmospheric ion escape
Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Gangkai Poh +11
Atmospheric ion escape driven by the solar wind is a key process controlling the long-term loss of the Martian atmosphere. Localized plasma clouds can carry substantial fluxes of p…
Direct Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Wind Current Sheets near Mars
Chi Zhang, Chuanfei Dong, Xinmin Li +10
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and ubiquitous process in astrophysical plasmas that converts magnetic energy into plasma kinetic and thermal energy. Throughout the heliosph…
Storm-Time Cusp Precipitation: Insights from TRACERS Multi-Crossing Observations
Shirsh Lata Soni, David M. Miles, Jasper Halekas +12
The dayside cusp provides a direct pathway for solar wind plasma entry into the magnetosphere ionosphere system through magnetic reconnection. Using low altitude ion and electron m…
