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 h…

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…

Acceleration of electrons and ions by an "almost" astrophysical shock in the heliosphere
Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Oleksiy Agapitov, Vladimir Krasnoselskikh +18
Collisionless shock waves, ubiquitous in the universe, are crucial for particle acceleration in various astrophysical systems. Currently, the heliosphere is the only natural enviro…
