On the Relation between Source Region and In-situ Variability of Low Solar Wind Streams
Kai Jaffarove, Tamar Ervin, Stuart D. Bale
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed a high speed stream near the Sun () in March 2025. As this stream was observed near the Sun, it allowed for an unparalleled oppo…
Proton specific entropy as a proxy for the charge state ratio over heliocentric distance
Jack D. Collard, Tamar Ervin, Ryan M. Dewey +10
While the fast solar wind has well-established origins in coronal holes, the source of the slow solar wind remains uncertain. Compositional metrics, such as heavy ion charge state…
In situ Evidence of 5-minute Oscillations from Parker Solar Probe
Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Olga Panasenco +19
The Sun's surface vibrates in characteristic 5-minute oscillations, known as p-modes, generated by sound waves trapped within the convection zone. Although these oscillations have…
The impact of Alfvenic shear flow on magnetic reconnection and turbulence
Tamar Ervin, Alfred Mallet, Stefan Eriksson +9
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental and omnipresent energy conversion process in plasma physics. Novel observations of fields and particles from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have sh…
Stochastic Heating in the Sub-Alfvénic Solar Wind
Trevor A. Bowen, Tamar Ervin, Alfred Mallet +7
Collisionless dissipation of turbulence is important for heating plasmas in astrophysical, space physics, and laboratory environments, controlling energy, momentum and particle tra…
Perpendicular ion heating in turbulence and reconnection: magnetic moment breaking by coherent fluctuations
Alfred Mallet, Kristopher G. Klein, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +2
We study the interaction of an ion with a fluctuation in the electromagnetic fields that is localized in both space and time. We study the scale-dependence of the interaction in bo…
Differentiating the acceleration mechanisms in the slow and Alfvénic slow solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, J. L. Verniero +18
In the corona, plasma is accelerated to hundreds of kilometers per second, and heated to temperatures hundreds of times hotter than the Sun's surface, before it escapes to form the…
