Spherically Polarized Alfvén Waves and the Gosling Boost
Yuliang Ding, Marco Velli, Zesen Huang +6
Alfvén waves are thought to play critical roles in solar wind acceleration and plasma heating in the solar corona and inner heliosphere. Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has highlighted th…

What are Switchbacks?
Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Yuliang Ding
We present a solitary Alfvén wave model that exhibits nontrivial three-dimensional twisting of open magnetic field lines while preserving constant . Embedded rotational discon…

In situ Evidence of 5-minute Oscillations from Parker Solar Probe
Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Olga Panasenco +19
The Sun's surface vibrates in characteristic 5-minute oscillations, known as p-modes, generated by sound waves trapped within the convection zone. Although these oscillations have…
