Low-frequency Intermittency and Structures in the Solar Wind at 1 au

Jiaming Wang, Francesco Pecora, Yan Yang +1

Intermittency in the solar wind is commonly studied within the inertial and dissipative ranges, where scale-dependent magnetic field distributions become increasingly non-Gaussian…

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Preferential Heating of Protons over Alpha Particles near Turbulent Coherent Structures

Jiayang Xi, Tieyan Wang, Daniel Verscharen +15

Solar wind alpha particles exhibit preferential heating and acceleration relative to protons; however, their behavior in the vicinity of turbulent coherent structures remains less…

Turbulence in the terrestrial magnetosheath: space-time correlation using the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission

Francesco Pecora, William H. Matthaeus, Antonella Greco +4

Spatiotemporal correlation of magnetic field fluctuations is investigated using the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission in the terrestrial magnetosheath. The first observation of the…

Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)

Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74

The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…

Revisiting compressible and incompressible pressure-strain interaction in kinetic plasma turbulence

Subash Adhikari, Yan Yang, William H. Matthaeus

In this study, we revisit the pressure-strain interaction in kinetic turbulence, and in particular we re-examine the decomposition of pressure-strain interaction into compressive a…

Noise in the Heliosphere: A Target for PUNCH Science

Jiaming Wang, William H. Matthaeus, Rohit Chhiber +4

We present a broad review of 1/f noise observations in the heliosphere, and discuss and complement the theoretical background of generic 1/f models as relevant to NASA's PUNCH miss…

Scale Separation Effects on Simulations of Plasma Turbulence

Jago Edyvean, Tulasi N. Parashar, Tom Simpson +7

Understanding plasma turbulence requires a synthesis of experiments, observations, theory, and simulations. In the case of kinetic plasmas such as the solar wind, the lack of colli…

Anisotropy of Density Fluctuations in the Solar Wind at 1 au

Jiaming Wang, Rohit Chhiber, Sohom Roy +6

A well-known property of solar wind plasma turbulence is the observed anisotropy of the autocorrelations, or equivalently the spectra, of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations.…

Revisiting a classic: the Parker-Moffatt problem

O. Pezzi, T. N. Parashar, S. Servidio +6

The interaction of two colliding Alfvén wave packets is here described by means of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and hybrid kinetic numerical simulations. The MHD evolution revisits t…
