Linear Growth Rate of Compressible Tearing Instability in a Force-Free Current Sheet

Chen Shi, Marco Velli

We investigate the linear growth rate of tearing instability in a resistive force-free current sheet using the linearized fully-compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations. O…

Bifurcations in the Heliosphere: Global-scale Coronal Pseudostreamer Evolution and the Creation of Secondary Heliospheric Current Sheets

Lizet S. Casillas, Benjamin J. Lynch, Victor Réville +2

The heliospheric current sheet (HCS) is the boundary between open magnetic fields of opposite polarity in the solar wind that connect back to their respective open flux regions in…

Potential Solar Precursors to Magnetic Switchbacks

Durgesh Tripathi, Maria S. Madjarska, Judy Karpen +9

The origin of magnetic switchbacks-large-amplitude, spherically polarized magnetic-field fluctuations with local polarity inversions shown to be nearly ubiquitous in the inner heli…

Evolution and Impact of Switchbacks Throughout the Heliosphere

Alfred Mallet, Chen Shi, Anna Tenerani +23

Magnetic switchbacks are large-amplitude fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field, and appear frequently in the near-Sun solar wind explored recently by Parker Solar Probe…

Three dimensional, spherically polarized magnetic fields

Anna Tenerani, Marco Velli

Turbulence in the solar wind is characterized by Alfvénic fluctuations that exhibit spherical polarization, a geometric condition resulting in the nearly constant magnitude of the…

Magnetic switchback formation: a review of proposed mechanisms

Peter F. Wyper, Jonathan Squire, Etienne Pariat +19

Magnetic switchbacks are large amplitude deflections of the magnetic field within the solar wind. They are Alfvénic in character and so are associated with a spike in velocity and…

Solar Wind Classifications at Mars using Machine Learning Techniques

Catherine E. Regan, Silvia Ferro, Austin M. Smith +5

Understanding solar wind variability throughout the heliosphere is essential for fundamental space physics and future exploration of the Moon and Mars. The Mars Atmosphere and Vola…
