Collisional Thermalization of Hydrogen and Helium in Solar Wind Plasma
Bennett A. Maruca, Stuart D. Bale, Luca Sorriso-Valvo +2
In situ observations of the solar wind frequently show the temperature of -particles (fully ionized helium), , to significantly differ from that of protons (ionized hydroge…
Solar Wind Turbulence and the Role of Ion Instabilities
Olga Alexandrova, Christopher H. K. Chen, Luca Sorriso-Valvo +2
Solar wind is probably the best laboratory to study turbulence in astrophysical plasmas. In addition to the presence of magnetic field, the differences with neutral fluid isotropic…
Residual Energy Spectrum of Solar Wind Turbulence
C. H. K. Chen, S. D. Bale, C. S. Salem +1
It has long been known that the energy in velocity and magnetic field fluctuations in the solar wind is not in equipartition. In this paper, we present an analysis of 5 years of Wi…
Electron heat conduction in the solar wind: transition from Spitzer-Härm to the collisionless limit
S. D. Bale, M. Pulupa, C. Salem +2
We use a statistically significant set of measurements to show that the field-aligned electron heat flux in the solar wind at 1 AU is consistent with the Spitzer-Härm…
On Sun-to-Earth Propagation of Coronal Mass Ejections
Ying D. Liu, Janet G. Luhmann, Noé Lugaz +4
We investigate how coronal mass ejections (CMEs) propagate through, and interact with, the inner heliosphere between the Sun and Earth, a key question in CME research and space wea…
The dynamic quasiperpendicular shock: Cluster discoveries
V. Krasnoselskikh, M. Balikhin, S. N. Walker +9
The physics of collisionless shocks is a very broad topic which has been studied for more than five decades. However, there are a number of important issues which remain unresolved…
