Two-Dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability with Anisotropic Pressure
Shishir Biswas, Masaru Nakanotani, Dinshaw S. Balsara +2
The Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability occurs in multiple heliospheric (solar-wind stream interfaces, planetary magnetospheres, cometary tails, heliopause flanks) and interstellar (…
Turbulence, Waves, and Taylor's Hypothesis for Heliosheath Observations
L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, M. Opher +6
Magnetic field fluctuations measured in the heliosheath by the Voyager spacecraft are often characterized as compressible, as indicated by a strong fluctuating component parallel t…
Characterization of Turbulent Fluctuations in the Sub-Alfvenic Solar Wind
Gary P. Zank, Lingling Zhao, Laxman Adhikari +8
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed sub-Alfvenic solar wind intervals during encounters 8 - 14, and low-frequency magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in these regions may differ from that…
Phase Coherence of Solar Wind Turbulence from the Sun to Earth
Masaru Nakanotani, Lingling Zhao, Gary P. Zank
The transport of energetic particles in response to solar wind turbulence is important for space weather. To understand charged particle transport, it is usually assumed that the p…
Pickup Ion-Mediated Magnetic Reconnection in the Outer Heliosphere
M. Nakanotani, G. P. Zank, L. -L. Zhao
Pickup ions (PUIs) play a crucial role in the heliosphere, contributing to the mediation of large-scale structures such as the distant solar wind, the heliospheric termination shoc…
Observation of Magnetic Switchback in the Solar Corona
Daniele Telloni, Gary P. Zank, Marco Stangalini +49
Switchbacks are sudden, large radial deflections of the solar wind magnetic field, widely revealed in interplanetary space by the Parker Solar Probe. The switchbacks' formation mec…
Particle acceleration in an MHD-scale system of multiple current sheets
M. Nakanotani, G. P. Zank, L. -L. Zhao
We investigate particle acceleration in an MHD-scale system of multiple current sheets by performing 2D and 3D MHD simulations combined with a test particle simulation. The system…
Inertial range magnetic fluctuation anisotropy observed from PSP first seven orbits
L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, L. Adhikari +1
Solar wind turbulence is anisotropic with respect to the mean magnetic field. Anisotropy leads to ambiguity when interpreting in-situ turbulence observations in the solar wind beca…
Turbulence/wave transmission at an ICME-driven shock observed by Solar Orbiter and Wind
L. L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, J. S. He +10
Solar Orbiter observed an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) event at 0.8 AU on 2020 April 19. The ICME was also observed by Wind at 1 AU on 2020 April 20. An interplaneta…
Detection of small magnetic flux ropes from the third and fourth Parker Solar Probe encounters
L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, Q. Hu +22
We systematically search for magnetic flux rope structures in the solar wind to within the closest distance to the Sun of 0.13 AU, using data from the third and fourth orbits of th…
