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…

Tracing a Multi-Temperature Quiescent Prominence's Thermodynamic Evolution from Sun to Earth

Callie A. García, Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman +5

Solar prominences are cool, dense stable structures routinely observed in the corona. Prominences are often ejected from the Sun via coronal mass ejections (CMEs). However, they ar…

Observational Constraints on the Radial Evolution of O Temperature and Differential Flow in the Inner Heliosphere

Yeimy J. Rivera, Kristopher G. Klein, Joseph H. Wang +15

Over decades of solar wind observations, heavy ions have been observed to have a higher temperature and flow faster than protons in the solar corona and heliosphere. Remote observa…

Helium Abundance Periods Observed by the Solar Probe Cup on Parker Solar Probe: Encounters 1-14

Madisen Johnson, Yeimy J. Rivera, Tatiana Niembro +7

Parker Solar Probe is a mission designed to explore properties of the solar wind closer than ever before. Detailed particle observations from the Solar Probe Cup (SPC) have primari…

In situ observations of large amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +16

After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements fr…

Observed Fluctuation Enhancement and Departure from WKB Theory in Sub-Alfvénic Solar Wind

David Ruffolo, Panisara Thepthong, Peera Pongkitiwanichakul +12

Using Parker Solar Probe data from orbits 8 through 17, we examine fluctuation amplitudes throughout the critical region where the solar wind flow speed approaches and then exceeds…
