Direct Measurement of Polar Coronal Hole-like Solar Wind in its Acceleration Phase
Samuel T. Badman, Yeimy J. Rivera, Michael L. Stevens +38
The early evolution of fast polar coronal hole (PCH) solar wind remains largely unconstrained by in situ measurements. In March 2025, Parker Solar Probe (Parker) at its closest app…
Strong Prevalence of Hammerhead Velocity Distributions Close to the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Srijan Bharati Das, Jaye L. Verniero, Samuel T. Badman +13
The solar wind undergoes non-adiabatic heating as it travels away from the Sun. The velocity phase space distribution of non-equilibrium ions in the solar wind indicate a source of…
Sunward Streaming 3He-rich SEP Events Observed by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe during Perihelion Passage
Samuel T. Hart, George C. Ho, Michael R. Terres +7
We report on two 3He-rich solar energetic particle (SEP) events observed by Solar Orbiter (SO) and Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during the April 1 - 4, 2024 conjunction when both space…
Recovering Ion Distribution Functions: II. Gyrotropic Slepian Reconstruction of Solar Wind Electrostatic Analyzer Measurements
Srijan Bharati Das, Michael Terres
Velocity distribution functions (VDF) are an essential observable for studying kinetic and wave-particle processes in solar wind plasmas. To experimentally distinguish modes of hea…
Recovering Ion Distribution Functions: I. Slepian Reconstruction of VDFs from MMS and Solar Orbiter
Srijan Bharati Das, Michael Terres
Plasma velocity distribution functions (VDFs) constitute a fundamental observation of numerous operational and future missions. An efficient parameterization of VDFs is crucial for…
Relating the Solar Wind Turbulence Spectral Break at the Dissipation Range with an Upstream Spectral Bump at Planetary Bow Shocks
Michael Terres, Gang Li
At scales much larger than the ion inertial scale and the gyro-radius of thermal protons, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory is well equipped to describe the nature of solar wind tur…
