A Catalog of Automatically Identified Multi-Signature ICMEs Observed by Solar Orbiter

Felix N. Minta, Stefano A. Livi, George C. Ho +2

In this study, we present a catalog of 138 interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) identified using multiple distance-normalized ICME criteria within sliding time windows app…

Observational Constraints on the Radial Evolution of O Temperature and Differential Flow in the Inner Heliosphere

Yeimy J. Rivera, Kristopher G. Klein, Joseph H. Wang +15

Over decades of solar wind observations, heavy ions have been observed to have a higher temperature and flow faster than protons in the solar corona and heliosphere. Remote observa…

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…

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…

MESSENGER observations of Mercury's planetary ion escape rates and their dependence on true anomaly angle

Weijie Sun, Ryan M. Dewey, Xianzhe Jia +11

This study investigates the escape of Mercury's sodium-group ions (Na+-group, including ions with m/q from 21 to 30 amu/e) and their dependence on true anomaly angle (TAA), i.e., M…

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…
