Velocity-space turbulent cascade in the near-Sun solar wind: first insights from the Parker Solar Probe mission

A. Larosa, O. Pezzi, T. Bowen +11

In space plasmas, the rarity of collisions leads to complex structures in the velocity space where a turbulent cascade of the velocity distribution function fluctuations is thought…

Magnetic reconnection-driven energization of protons up to 400 keV at the near-Sun heliospheric current sheet

M. I. Desai, J. F. Drake, T. Phan +22

We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ~400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NA…

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Energetic Particles in the Flank of a Coronal Mass Ejection Close to the Sun

N. A. Schwadron, Stuart D. Bale, J. Bonnell +32

We present an event observed by Parker Solar Probe at 0.2 au on March 2, 2022 in which imaging and \emph{in situ} measurements coincide. During this event, PSP passed through…

Estimates of Proton and Electron Heating Rates Extended to the Near-Sun Environment

R. Bandyopadhyay, C. M. Meyer, W. H. Matthaeus +11

A central problem of space plasma physics is how protons and electrons are heated in a turbulent, magnetized plasma. The differential heating of charged species due to dissipation…

Quantifying the Energy Budget in the Solar Wind from 13.3-100 Solar Radii

J. S. Halekas, S. D. Bale, M. Berthomier +10

A variety of energy sources, ranging from dynamic processes like magnetic reconnection and waves to quasi-steady terms like the plasma pressure, may contribute to the acceleration…

Density Enhancement Streams in The Solar Wind

F. S. Mozer, O. Agapitov, S. D. Bale +5

This letter describes a new phenomenon on the Parker Solar Probe of recurring plasma density enhancements that have n/n ~10% and that occur at a repetition rate of ~5 Hz. They w…
