Wave-Growth-Limited Particle Confinement in a Near-Parallel Interplanetary Shock Observed by Parker Solar Probe

A. Kouloumvakos, I. C. Jebaraj, M. A. Malkov +11

Collisionless shocks confine the particles they accelerate with the upstream wave field they themselves drive. Streaming particles resonantly amplify Alfvén waves, and the waves th…

Parker Solar Probe observations of solar energetic particle (SEP) events with inverse velocity arrival (IVA) features

Zigong Xu, C. M. S. Cohen, R. A. Leske +21

In SEP events, velocity dispersion (VD) is characterized by the earlier arrival of faster, higher-energy particles relative to slower ones, assuming negligible acceleration time an…

Energy-dependent SEP Fe/O abundances during the May 2024 superstorm

G. D. Muro, C. M. S. Cohen, Z. Xu +16

During mid-May 2024, active region (AR) 13664 produced a series of M- and X-class flares along with several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that resulted in exceptionally strong auro…

Comparing Methods for Calculating Solar Energetic Particle Intensities: Re-binning versus Spectral Binning

M. E. Cuesta, L. Y. Khoo, G. Livadiotis +13

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been observed for decades in the interplanetary medium by spacecraft measuring the intensity of energetic ions and electrons. These inten…

Diverse dust populations in the near-Sun environment characterized by PSP/ISIS

M. M. Shen, J. R. Szalay, P. Pokorný +9

The Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (ISIS) energetic particle instrument suite on Parker Solar Probe is dedicated to measuring energetic ions and electrons in th…

Composition variation of the May 16 2023 Solar Energetic Particle Event observed by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe

Z. G. Xu, C. M. S Cohen, R. A. Leske +13

In this study, we employ the combined charged particle measurements from Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (\ISOIS) onboard the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Energetic Par…

Magnetic reconnection-driven energization of protons up to 400 keV at the near-Sun heliospheric current sheet

M. I. Desai, J. F. Drake, T. Phan +22

We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ~400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NA…

Correlation of Coronal Mass Ejection Shock Temperature with Solar Energetic Particle Intensity

Manuel Enrique Cuesta, D. J. McComas, L. Y. Khoo +13

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft since its launch in 2018. These events include sources from solar flares and cor…

Science Opportunities for IMAP-Lo Observations of Interstellar Neutral Helium, Neon and Oxygen During a Maximum of Solar Activity

M. A. Kubiak, M. Bzowski, P. Swaczyna +3

Direct-sampling observations of interstellar neutral (ISN) species and their secondary populations give information about the physical state of the local interstellar medium and pr…

Estimates of Proton and Electron Heating Rates Extended to the Near-Sun Environment

R. Bandyopadhyay, C. M. Meyer, W. H. Matthaeus +11

A central problem of space plasma physics is how protons and electrons are heated in a turbulent, magnetized plasma. The differential heating of charged species due to dissipation…
