Microphysical Diversity in Two Very Closely Spaced Magnetic Switchbacks Observed by Parker Solar Probe

Dipali Vadher, Ankush Bhaskar, Smitha Thampi +1

Parker Solar Probe observations near the Sun reveal frequent, sudden reversals of the magnetic field known as switchbacks (SBs). Despite their ubiquity, the internal plasma structu…

The Impact of a Stealth CME on the Martian Topside Ionosphere

Smitha V. Thampi, C. Krishnaprasad, Govind G. Nampoothiri +1

Solar cycle 24 is one of the weakest solar cycles recorded, but surprisingly the declining phase of it had a slow CME which evolved without any low coronal signature and is classif…

Recurrent Solar Energetic Particle Flux Enhancements Observed near Earth and Mars

C. Krishnaprasad, Smitha V. Thampi, Anil Bhardwaj +3

August 1 to November 15, 2016 period was characterized by the presence of Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) and a few weak Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) in the heliosphere. In…

Acceleration of Energetic Ions in Corotating Interaction Region near 1.5 au: Evidence from MAVEN

Smitha V. Thampi, C. Krishnaprasad, P. R. Shreedevi +2

The dearth of observations between 1 au and 3 au limits our understanding of energetic particle acceleration processes in interplanetary space. We present the first-of-their-kind o…
