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…
Spacecraft floating potential measurements for the spacecraft
L. B. Wilson, C. S. Salem, J. W. Bonnell
Analysis of 8,804,545 electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs), observed by the spacecraft near 1 AU between January 1, 2005 and January 1, 2022, was perform…
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…
Interpretation of flat energy spectra upstream of fast interplanetary shocks
Silvia Perri, Giuseppe Prete, Gaetano Zimbardo +6
Interplanetary shocks are large-scale heliospheric structures often caused by eruptive phenomena at the Sun, and represent one of the main sources of energetic particles. Several i…
Phase Space Energization of Ions in Oblique Shocks
James Juno, Collin R. Brown, Gregory G. Howes +5
Examining energization of kinetic plasmas in phase space is a growing topic of interest, owing to the wealth of data in phase space compared to traditional bulk energization diagno…
The statistical properties of solar wind temperature parameters near 1 AU
Lynn B. Wilson, Michael L. Stevens, Justin C. Kasper +6
We present a long-duration (10 years) statistical analysis of the temperatures, plasma betas, and temperature ratios for the electron, proton, and alpha-particle populations…
Kinetic Theory and Fast Wind Observations of the Electron Strahl
Konstantinos Horaites, Stanislav Boldyrev, Lynn B. Wilson +2
We develop a model for the strahl population in the solar wind -- a narrow, low-density and high-energy electron beam centered on the magnetic field direction. Our model is based o…
Relativistic electrons produced by foreshock disturbances
L. B. Wilson, D. G. Sibeck, D. L. Turner +3
Foreshock disturbances -- large-scale (~1000 km to >30,000 km), transient (~5-10 per day - lasting ~10s of seconds to several minutes) structures [1,2] - generated by suprathermal…
THEMIS Observations of the Magnetopause Electron Diffusion Region: Large Amplitude Waves and Heated Electrons
Xiangwei Tang, Cynthia Cattell, John Dombeck +4
We present the first observations of large amplitude waves in a well-defined electron diffusion region at the sub-solar magnetopause using data from one THEMIS satellite. These wav…
Shocklets, SLAMS, and field-aligned ion beams in the terrestrial foreshock
L. B. Wilson, A. Koval, D. G. Sibeck +7
We present Wind spacecraft observations of ion distributions showing field-aligned beams (FABs) and large-amplitude magnetic fluctuations composed of a series of shocklets and shor…
Observation of relativistic electron microbursts in conjunction with intense radiation belt whistler-mode waves
K. Kersten, C. A. Cattell, A. Breneman +7
We present multi-satellite observations indicating a strong correlation between large amplitude radiation belt whistler-mode waves and relativistic electron precipitation. On separ…
