Parker Solar Probe Observations of Compound Reconnection Exhaust Boundaries and Mirror-Mode Structures in the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet
Weijie Sun, Tai Phan, Jia Huang +12
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process that can drive rapid conversion of magnetic energy into plasma bulk flows, thermal heating, and particle acceleration in spa…
Strong Prevalence of Hammerhead Velocity Distributions Close to the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Srijan Bharati Das, Jaye L. Verniero, Samuel T. Badman +13
The solar wind undergoes non-adiabatic heating as it travels away from the Sun. The velocity phase space distribution of non-equilibrium ions in the solar wind indicate a source of…
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…
Proton and Alpha Driven Instabilities in an Ion Cyclotron Wave Event
Michael D. McManus, Kristopher G. Klein, Davin Larson +8
Ion scale wave events or "wave storms" in the solar wind are characterised by enhancements in magnetic field fluctuations as well as coherent magnetic field polarisation signatures…
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…
