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…
Direct Evidence of Non-Ideal Dissipative Dynamics in Solar Wind Magnetic Switchbacks
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Kyung-Eun Choi +1
Magnetic switchbacks, large-amplitude, localized Alfvenic like rotations of the solar wind magnetic field, have been the subject of intensive investigation, with approximately 200…
Measurements on the kinetic physics in streamer dynamics
Forrest Mozer, Kyungeun Choi, Richard Sydora +1
A major goal of solar physics is understanding the transition of the medium from the closed-loop magnetic configuration of the corona to the open structure of the heliospheric curr…
Intermingled open and closed magnetic field lines near the radial origin of the heliospheric current sheet
Forrest Mozer, Andrii Voshchepynets, Oleksiy Agapitov +2
Aims. To investigate the magnetic field geometry and waves in the region near the Sun where the heliospheric current sheet is formed. Methods. One good example of apparent open and…
Parallel Electric Fields And Electron Heating Observed In The Young Solar Wind
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Kyung-Eu Choi +1
The largest electric fields between 18 and 30 solar radii are in narrow band waves simultaneously observed at a few Hz (somewhat above the local proton gyrofrequency) and a few hun…
