The Damping and Instability of Ion-acoustic Waves in the Solar Wind: Solar Orbiter Observations

Hao Ran, Daniel Verscharen, Jesse Coburn +6

Observations of solar wind velocity distribution functions (VDFs) commonly reveal fine-scale structures. These features strongly influence kinetic processes such as wave damping an…

Solar Wind Heating Near the Sun: A Radial Evolution Approach

Yogesh, Leon Ofman, Kristopher Klein +19

Characterizing the plasma state in the near-Sun environment is essential to constrain the mechanisms that heat and accelerate the solar wind. In this study, we use Parker Solar Pro…

How the Oblique Drift Instability Alters Solar Wind Heating and Constrains the Distribution of Solar Wind Observations

Mihailo M. Martinovic, Kristopher G. Klein, Leon Ofman +6

Ion-driven plasma instability thresholds, derived from linear theory, constrain the distribution of solar observations in parameter space, defining boundaries of stable plasma para…

Observational Constraints on the Radial Evolution of O Temperature and Differential Flow in the Inner Heliosphere

Yeimy J. Rivera, Kristopher G. Klein, Joseph H. Wang +15

Over decades of solar wind observations, heavy ions have been observed to have a higher temperature and flow faster than protons in the solar corona and heliosphere. Remote observa…

Impact of Two-Population -particle Distributions on Plasma Stability

Mihailo M. Martinović, Kristopher G. Klein, Rossana De Marco +3

The stability of weakly collisional plasmas is well represented by linear theory, and the generated waves play an essential role in the thermodynamics of these systems. The velocit…
