Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectroscopy: A Key Capability for Understanding the Physics of Solar Wind Acceleration
S. R. Cranmer, J. L. Kohl, D. Alexander +21
Understanding the physical processes responsible for accelerating the solar wind requires detailed measurements of the collisionless plasma in the extended solar corona. Some key c…

Alfven Wave Turbulence and Perpendicular Ion Temperatures in Coronal Holes
Benjamin D. G. Chandran
Low-frequency Alfven-wave turbulence causes ion trajectories to become chaotic, or "stochastic," when the turbulence amplitude is sufficiently large. Stochastic orbits enable ions…

Perpendicular Ion Heating by Low-Frequency Alfven-Wave Turbulence in the Solar Wind
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Bo Li, Barrett N. Rogers +2
We consider ion heating by turbulent Alfven waves (AWs) and kinetic Alfven waves (KAWs) with perpendicular wavelengths comparable to the ion gyroradius and frequencies smaller than…
