The Wave-Regulated Precursor of a Near-Parallel Interplanetary Shock Observed by Parker Solar Probe

Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Lucas Colomban, Oleksiy Agapitov +7

Diffusive shock acceleration, at shocks from coronal mass ejections to supernova-remnant blast waves, presupposes a scattering wave field that the accelerated particles themselves…

Wave Activity at MHD-ion Scales Associated with Switchbacks

Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Forrest Mozer +9

Magnetic switchbacks (SB) -- the localized magnetic structures with magnetic field direction inclined at an angle relative to the background -- in the young solar wind ha…

VLF Remote Sensing across and along the Totality Path during the April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse using a VLF Receiver Network

Oleksiy Agapitov, Mark Gołkowski, Lucas Colomban +6

During the total solar eclipse in the United States on April 8, 2024, we observed the amplitude and phase of VLF signals from five U.S. Navy VLF transmitters using a novel geometry…

Surface Waves at Switchback Boundaries in the Young Solar Wind from Parker Solar Probe Observations

Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Nina Bizien +2

Switchbacks (SBs) are localized magnetic field deflections in the solar wind, marked by abrupt changes in the magnetic field direction relative to the ambient solar wind. Observati…

Switchbacks near Boundaries of Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Young Solar Wind from Parker Solar Probe Observations

Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Dae-Young Lee +5

The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission has revealed frequent occurrences of switchbacks (SBs) and small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) as prominent structures within the solar win…

Direct Measurements of Synchrotron-Emitting Electrons at Near-Sun Shocks

I. C. Jebaraj, O. V. Agapitov, M. Gedalin +22

In this study, we present the first-ever direct measurements of synchrotron-emitting heliospheric traveling shocks, intercepted by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its close enc…

Whistler waves in the young solar wind: statistics of amplitude and propagation direction from Parker Solar Probe Encounters 1-11

Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy Agapitov, Lucas Colomban +5

In the interplanetary space solar wind plasma, whistler waves are observed in a wide range of heliocentric distance (from ~20 solar radii (RS) to Jupiter's orbit). They are known t…

Reconstruction of Polarization Properties of Whistler Waves From Two Magnetic and Two Electric Field Components: Application to Parker Solar Probe Measurements

L. Colomban, O. V. Agapitov, V. Krasnoselskikh +8

The search-coil magnetometer (SCM) aboard Parker Solar Probe (PSP) measures the 3 Hz to 1 MHz magnetic field fluctuations. During Encounter 1, the SCM operated as expected; however…

Quantifying the diffusion of suprathermal electrons by whistler waves between 0.2 and 1 AU with Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe

L. Colomban, M. Kretzschmar, V. Krasnoselkikh +7

The evolution of the solar wind electron distribution function with heliocentric distance exhibits different features that are still unexplained, in particular, the increase of the…

Whistler waves generated inside magnetic dips in the young solar wind: observations of the Search-Coil Magnetometer on board Parker Solar Probe

C. Froment, O. V. Agapitov, V. Krasnoselskikh +11

Context. Whistler waves are electromagnetic waves produced by electron-driven instabilities, that in turn can reshape the electron distributions via wave-particle interactions. In…

Determining the beaming of Io decametric emissions : a remote diagnostic to probe the Io-Jupiter interaction

L. Lamy, L. Colomban, P. Zarka +8

We investigate the beaming of 11 Io-Jupiter decametric (Io-DAM) emissions observed by Juno/Waves, the Nan\c cay Decameter Array and NenuFAR. Using an up-to-date magnetic field mode…

Whistler waves observed by Solar Orbiter / RPW between 0.5 AU and 1 AU

M. Kretzschmar, T. Chust, V. Krasnoselskikh +29

The goal of our study is to detect and characterize the electromagnetic waves that can modify the electron distribution functions, with a special attention to whistler waves. We an…

Whistler instability driven by the sunward electron deficit in the solar wind

Laura Berčič, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher J. Owen +18

Solar wind electrons play an important role in the energy balance of the solar wind acceleration by carrying energy into interplanetary space in the form of electron heat flux. The…
