On the origin of the dominant waves in the extended solar corona
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Orlando Romeo +2
The extended solar corona at 10-30 solar radii is essentially devoid of all waves below 100 kHz other than triggered ion acoustic waves (TIAW), which consist of a low frequency ele…
Plasma instability in the front of ejected energetic electrons and Type III solar radiobursts
Vladimir Krasnoselskikh, Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Tom Robert Franck Cooper +7
Type III radio bursts are a signature of the flux of near-relativistic electrons ejected during solar flares. These bursts are frequently observed by spacecraft such as the Parker…
Switchbacks near Boundaries of Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Young Solar Wind from Parker Solar Probe Observations
Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Dae-Young Lee +5
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission has revealed frequent occurrences of switchbacks (SBs) and small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) as prominent structures within the solar win…
Electric field measurements made in space
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov
The operating principles of a DC and low frequency electric field detector are developed, after which, examples of earlier important electric field measurements are presented, incl…
Electric fields and waves in the Venus nightside magnetosphere
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Stuart Bale +4
On November 6, 2024, the Parker Solar Probe flew past Venus to make the first accurate electric field measurement in the nightside Venusian magnetosphere. To achieve this result, t…
Parallel Electric Fields And Electron Heating Observed In The Young Solar Wind
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Kyung-Eu Choi +1
The largest electric fields between 18 and 30 solar radii are in narrow band waves simultaneously observed at a few Hz (somewhat above the local proton gyrofrequency) and a few hun…
