Differentiating the acceleration mechanisms in the slow and Alfvénic slow solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, J. L. Verniero +18
In the corona, plasma is accelerated to hundreds of kilometers per second, and heated to temperatures hundreds of times hotter than the Sun's surface, before it escapes to form the…

Scale-Dependent Dynamic Alignment in MHD Turbulence: Insights into Intermittency, Compressibility, and Imbalance Effects
Nikos Sioulas, Marco Velli, Alfred Mallet +7
Scale-Dependent Dynamic Alignment (SDDA) in Elsässer field fluctuations is theorized to suppress nonlinearities and modulate the energy spectrum. Limited empirical evidence exists…

Characteristics and Source Regions of Slow Alfvenic Solar Wind Observed by Parker Solar Probe
Tamar Ervin, Kai Jaffarove, Samuel T. Badman +3
Using a classification scheme for solar wind type based on the heliocentric distance of the observation, we look at near perihelion observations from Parker Solar Probe Encounters…
