An Overview of Solar Orbiter Observations of Interplanetary Shocks in Solar Cycle 25
D. Trotta, A. Dimmock, H. Hietala +17
Interplanetary shocks are fundamental constituents of the heliosphere, where they form as a result of solar activity. We use previously unavailable measurements of interplanetary s…
Temperature anisotropy instabilities driven by intermittent velocity shears in the solar wind
Simon Opie, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher H. K. Chen +5
Where and under what conditions the transfer of energy between electromagnetic fields and particles takes place in the solar wind remains an open question. We investigate the condi…
Mixed Source Region Signatures Inside Magnetic Switchback Patches Inferred by Heavy Ion Diagnostics
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +13
Since Parker Solar Probe's (Parker's) first perihelion pass at the Sun, large amplitude Alfvén waves grouped in patches have been observed near the Sun throughout the mission. Seve…
In situ observations of large amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +16
After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements fr…
Observation of a Fully-formed Forward--Reverse Shock Pair Due to the Interaction Between Two Coronal Mass Ejections at 0.5 au
D. Trotta, A. Dimmock, X. Blanco-Cano +17
We report direct observations of a fast magnetosonic forward--reverse shock pair observed by Solar Orbiter on March 8, 2022 at the short heliocentric distance of 0.5 au. The struct…
Comparative study of the kinetic properties of proton and alpha beams in the Alfvénic wind observed by SWA-PAS onboard Solar Orbiter
Roberto Bruno, Rossana DeMarco, Raffaella D Amicis +12
The problems of heating and acceleration of solar wind particles are of significant and enduring interest in astrophysics. The interactions between waves and particles are crucial…
