Averaging Effects on the Solar Wind Alfven Mach Number: Implications for Switchbacks and Alfven Transition
Joshua Goodwill, Subash Adhikari, Francesco Pecora +10
Averaging techniques in solar wind measurements have been a longstanding subject of debate. Using Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations from encounters 1 to 19, we investigate how…

Characterization of the Trans-Alfvénic Region Using Observations from Parker Solar Probe
Subash Adhikari, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Joshua Goodwill +14
Close to Earth the solar wind is usually super-Alfvénic, i.e. the speed of the solar wind is much larger than the Alfvén speed. However, in the lower coronal regions, the solar win…

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…
