Intermittent turbulence as the driver of stochastic heating in the near-Sun solar wind
Tamar Ervin, Trevor A. Bowen, Alfred Mallet +9
Understanding the mechanism by which the energy is dissipated at small scales to heat the outer corona and expanding solar wind, is a primary goal of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) m…

Direct Measurement of Diffusion Coefficients: Evidence for Diffusive Stochastic Heating in Collisionless Plasmas
Tamar Ervin, Trevor A. Bowen, Alfred Mallet +7
Open questions in collisionless plasma dissipation can be addressed using space-based observations in different astrophysical environments, with implications for both astrophysical…

Stochastic Heating in the Sub-Alfvénic Solar Wind
Trevor A. Bowen, Tamar Ervin, Alfred Mallet +7
Collisionless dissipation of turbulence is important for heating plasmas in astrophysical, space physics, and laboratory environments, controlling energy, momentum and particle tra…
