Wave Activity at MHD-ion Scales Associated with Switchbacks
Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Forrest Mozer +9
Magnetic switchbacks (SB) -- the localized magnetic structures with magnetic field direction inclined at an angle relative to the background -- in the young solar wind ha…
On flying near the base of a pseudo-streamer
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Kyungeun Choi +1
Near the 10 solar radius perihelion of Parker Solar Probe encounter 24, a confined region containing an enhanced plasma density (25,000 per cubic centimeter) and broadband electros…
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…
Direct Measurements of Synchrotron-Emitting Electrons at Near-Sun Shocks
I. C. Jebaraj, O. V. Agapitov, M. Gedalin +22
In this study, we present the first-ever direct measurements of synchrotron-emitting heliospheric traveling shocks, intercepted by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its close enc…
