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…
MHD modeling of magnetic flux evolution around solar maximum by the coronal model COCONUT
Haopeng Wang, Stefaan Poedts, Andrea Lani +15
In this paper, we simulate the magnetic flux evolution at different heliocentric distances during two solar-maximum Carrington rotations (CRs) using the time-evolving coronal magne…
Dominance of 2-Minute Oscillations near the Alfvén Surface
Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Chen Shi +11
Alfvén waves, considered one of the primary candidates for heating and accelerating the fast solar wind, are ubiquitous in spacecraft observations, yet their origin remains elusive…
Solar Wind Structures from the Gaussianity of Magnetic Magnitude
Zesen Huang, Chen Shi, Marco Velli +9
One of the primary science objectives of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is to determine the structures and dynamics of the plasma and magnetic fields at the sources of the solar wind. Ho…
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…
Compositional metrics of fast and slow Alfvenic solar wind emerging from coronal holes and their boundaries
Tamar Ervin, Stuart D. Bale, Samuel T. Badman +7
We seek to understand the composition and variability of fast (FSW) and slow Alfvenic solar wind (SASW) emerging from coronal holes (CH). We leverage an opportune conjunction betwe…
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…
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…
Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes with Field-aligned Flows via the PSP In-situ Observations
Yu Chen, Qiang Hu, Lingling Zhao +2
Magnetic flux rope, formed by the helical magnetic field lines, can sometimes remain its shape while carrying significant plasma flow that is aligned with the local magnetic field.…
Multiscale Solar Wind Turbulence Properties inside and near Switchbacks measured by Parker Solar Probe
Mihailo M. Martinović, Kristopher G. Klein, Jia Huang +9
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) routinely observes magnetic field deflections in the solar wind at distances less than 0.3 au from the Sun. These deflections are related to structures com…
Solar wind energy flux observations in the inner heliosphere: First results from Parker Solar Probe
M. Liu, K. Issautier, N. Meyer-Vernet +15
We investigate the solar wind energy flux in the inner heliosphere using 12-day observations around each perihelion of Encounter One (E01), Two (E02), Four (E04), and Five (E05) of…
Kinetic Scale Spectral Features of Cross Helicity and Residual Energy in the Inner Heliosphere
Daniel Vech, Justin C. Kasper, Kristopher G. Klein +17
In this Paper, we present the first results from the Flux Angle operation mode of the Faraday Cup instrument onboard Parker Solar Probe. The Flux Angle mode allows rapid measuremen…
The Enhancement of Proton Stochastic Heating in the near-Sun Solar Wind
Mihailo M. Martinović, Kristopher G. Klein, Justin C. Kasper +18
Stochastic heating is a non-linear heating mechanism driven by the violation of magnetic moment invariance due to large-amplitude turbulent fluctuations producing diffusion of ions…
Ion Scale Electromagnetic Waves in the Inner Heliosphere
Trevor Bowen, Alfred Mallet, Jia Huang +22
Understanding the physical processes in the solar wind and corona which actively contribute to heating, acceleration, and dissipation is a primary objective of NASA's Parker Solar…
Proton Temperature Anisotropy Variations in Inner Heliosphere Estimated with First Parker Solar Probe Observations
Jia Huang, Justin C. Kasper, Daniel Vech +27
We report proton temperature anisotropy variations in the inner heliosphere with Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations. Using a linear fitting method, we derive proton temperature…
