Triggered Ion-acoustic Waves
Forrest Mozer, Stuart Bale, Paul Kellogg +4
The Parker Solar Probe is in a solar orbit with a perihelion for orbit 12 at 13.3 solar radii. The electric field experiment on this satellite observes what we call triggered ion-a…
Research Opportunities in Plasma Astrophysics
Stuart Bale, Amitava Bhattacharjee, Fausto Cattaneo +13
Major scientific questions and research opportunities are described on 10 unprioritized plasma astrophysics topics: (1) magnetic reconnection, (2) collisionless shocks and particle…
Nonlinear Interactions in Spherically Polarized Alfvénic Turbulence
Trevor A. Bowen, Samuel T. Badman, Stuart D. Bale +8
Turbulent magnetic field fluctuations observed in the solar wind often maintain a constant magnitude condition accompanied by spherically polarized velocity fluctuations; these sig…
Evidence of a "current-mediated" turbulent regime in space and astrophysical plasmas
Luca Franci, Daniele Del Sarto, Emanuele Papini +6
How the turbulent energy cascade develops below the magnetohydrodynamic scales in space and astrophysical plasmas is a major open question. Here, we measure the power spectrum of m…
On quasi-parallel whistler waves in the solar wind
I. Y. Vasko, I. V. Kuzichev, A. V. Artemyev +3
The recent simulations showed that the whistler heat flux instability, which presumably produces the most of quasi-parallel coherent whistler waves in the solar wind, is not effici…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
