Potential Solar Precursors to Magnetic Switchbacks
Durgesh Tripathi, Maria S. Madjarska, Judy Karpen +9
The origin of magnetic switchbacks-large-amplitude, spherically polarized magnetic-field fluctuations with local polarity inversions shown to be nearly ubiquitous in the inner heli…

Automatic detection of Flare Ribbon Fine Structures as Proxies for Plasmoid Dynamics in Flare Reconnection
Georgios Chouliaras, Peter F. Wyper, Joel T. Dahlin +1
Flare ribbons often display fine structures along their fronts that are commonly interpreted as signatures of intermittent reconnection dynamics including plasmoid formation in the…

Magnetic switchback formation: a review of proposed mechanisms
Peter F. Wyper, Jonathan Squire, Etienne Pariat +19
Magnetic switchbacks are large amplitude deflections of the magnetic field within the solar wind. They are Alfvénic in character and so are associated with a spike in velocity and…
