Minor Ions as a Diagnostic of Solar Wind Heating: Inverted Mass-to-Charge Scaling in Imbalanced Turbulence
Michael F. Zhang, Evan L. Yerger, Matthew W. Kunz +1
Alfvénic turbulence is vital to powering the solar wind and corona, yet eludes a comprehensive understanding of the kinetic processes by which it dissipates. Minor ions are sensiti…
Cyclotron breaking: a mechanism for parallel ion cyclotron waves to heat the fast solar wind
Evan L. Yerger, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Vincent David +2
The () mission has observed near-continuous power in parallel ion cyclotron waves (PICWs) in the young, fast solar wind. These waves are…
Intermittent, Reflection-Driven, Strong Imbalanced MHD Turbulence
B. D. G. Chandran, N. Sioulas, S. Bale +4
We develop a phenomenological model of strong imbalanced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence that accounts for intermittency and the reflection of Alfven waves by spatial variatio…
Generalized Expanding-Box Formulations of Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics in the Solar Wind
Vincent David, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Romain Meyrand +2
We derive a set of simplified equations that can be used for numerical studies of reduced magnetohydrodynamic turbulence within a small patch of the radially expanding solar wind.…
Collisionless conduction in a high-beta plasma: a collision operator for whistler turbulence
Evan L. Yerger, Matthew W. Kunz, Archie F. A. Bott +1
The regulation of electron heat transport in high-beta, weakly collisional, magnetized plasma is investigated. A temperature gradient oriented along a mean magnetic field can induc…
