Photospheric Kelvin--Helmholtz Vortices as Possible Drivers of Coronal Heating: Implications of the DKIST Observations

Katariina Nykyri

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) has resolved Kelvin--Helmholtz (KH) vortices at photospheric magnetic-flux boundaries with a characteristic wavelength of 65 km. I esti…

Relativistic Scaling and Magnetization-Current Feedback in Stern Gerlach-Modified Pair-Plasma Reconnection: SpinPIC2D Validation and Nonlinear Regimes

K. Nykyri

We investigate the relativistic scaling and electromagnetic feedback of Stern--Gerlach (SG) force driven spin transport in pair-plasma reconnection with SpinPIC2D. The model advanc…

Stern--Gerlach Spin Sorting and Dynamical Feedback in Relativistic Pair-Plasma Reconnection

K. Nykyri

We derive a Stern--Gerlach control parameter, , comparing spin-driven cross-sheet displacement with the relativistic Larmor radius. It places heliospheric plasmas and most astro…

Observation of Large-Scale Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability Wave Driven by a Coronal Mass Ejection

Leon Ofman, Olga Khabarova, Ryun-Yong Kwon +3

The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) can occur when there is a relative motion between two adjacent fluids. In the case of magnetized plasma, the shear velocity must exceed the l…

Unveiling plasma energization and energy transport in the Earth Magnetospheric System: the need for future coordinated multiscale observations

A. Retino, L. Kepko, H. Kucharek +31

Energetic plasma is everywhere in the Universe. The terrestrial Magnetospheric System is a key case where direct measures of plasma energization and energy transport can be made in…

Reimagining Heliophysics: A bold new vision for the next decade and beyond

Ian J. Cohen, Dan Baker, Jacob Bortnik +25

The field of Heliophysics has a branding problem. We need an answer to the question: ``What is Heliophysics\?'', the answer to which should clearly and succinctly defines our scien…

Defining the Middle Corona

Matthew J. West, Daniel B. Seaton, David B. Wexler +31

The middle corona, the region roughly spanning heliocentric altitudes from to , encompasses almost all of the influential physical transitions and processes that…

Magnetospheric Multi-Scale Observations of High-Energy Electrons and Protons in the Vicinity of Southern High-Altitude Cusp Boundaries

Katariina Nykyri, Christina Chu, Xuanye Ma +1

Recent Magnetosphere Multiscale (MMS) observations found 238 high energy (> 40 keV) electron "leaking" events in the the magnetosheath [Cohen et al., 2017]. While several sources h…
