Regulation of Proton- Differential Flow by Compressive Fluctuations and Ion-scale Instabilities in the Solar Wind
Xingyu Zhu, Daniel Verscharen, Jiansen He +2
Large-scale compressive slow-mode-like fluctuations can cause variations in the density, temperature, and magnetic-field magnitude in the solar wind. In addition, they also lead to…
Magnetic reconnection as an erosion mechanism for magnetic switchbacks
G. H. H. Suen, C. J. Owen, D. Verscharen +3
Magnetic switchbacks are localised polarity reversals in the radial component of the heliospheric magnetic field. Observations from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have shown that they ar…
On the evolution of the Anisotropic Scaling of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in the Inner Heliosphere
Nikos Sioulas, Marco Velli, Zesen Huang +19
We analyze a merged Parker Solar Probe () and Solar Orbiter () dataset covering heliocentric distances to investigate…
Conditions for proton temperature anisotropy to drive instabilities in the solar wind
Simon Opie, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher H. K. Chen +2
Using high-resolution data from Solar Orbiter, we investigate the plasma conditions necessary for the proton temperature anisotropy driven mirror-mode and oblique firehose instabil…
Mirror mode storms observed by Solar Orbiter
A. P. Dimmock, E. Yordanova, D. B. Graham +8
Mirror modes are ubiquitous in space plasma and grow from pressure anisotropy. Together with other instabilities, they play a fundamental role in constraining the free energy conta…
The Kinetic Expansion of Solar-Wind Electrons: Transport Theory and Predictions for the very Inner Heliosphere
Seong-Yeop Jeong, Daniel Verscharen, Christian Vocks +9
We propose a transport theory for the kinetic evolution of solar-wind electrons in the heliosphere. We derive a gyro-averaged kinetic transport equation that accounts for the spher…
