Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process that can drive rapid conversion of magnetic energy into plasma bulk flows, thermal heating, and particle acceleration in spa…
Parker Solar Probe observations of solar energetic particle (SEP) events with inverse velocity arrival (IVA) features
Zigong Xu, C. M. S. Cohen, R. A. Leske +21
In SEP events, velocity dispersion (VD) is characterized by the earlier arrival of faster, higher-energy particles relative to slower ones, assuming negligible acceleration time an…
In situ Evidence of 5-minute Oscillations from Parker Solar Probe
Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Olga Panasenco +19
The Sun's surface vibrates in characteristic 5-minute oscillations, known as p-modes, generated by sound waves trapped within the convection zone. Although these oscillations have…

Nikos Sioulas, Marco Velli, Chen Shi +17
We analyze \textit{Parker Solar Probe} and \textit{Solar Orbiter} observations to investigate the propagation and dissipation of Alfvénic fluctuations from the outer corona to 1~AU…
Characterization of the Trans-Alfvénic Region Using Observations from Parker Solar Probe
Subash Adhikari, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Joshua Goodwill +14
Close to Earth the solar wind is usually super-Alfvénic, i.e. the speed of the solar wind is much larger than the Alfvén speed. However, in the lower coronal regions, the solar win…
The impact of Alfvenic shear flow on magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Tamar Ervin, Alfred Mallet, Stefan Eriksson +9
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and omnipresent energy conversion process in plasma physics. Novel observations of fields and particles from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have sh…
