Quasilinear Consequences of Turbulent Ion Heating by Magnetic Moment Breaking
Philip A. Isenberg, Bernard J. Vasquez, Joseph V. Hollweg
The fast solar wind emerging from coronal holes is likely heated and accelerated by the dissipation of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, but the specific kinetic mechanism resulting…
Deceleration of Alpha Particles in the Solar Wind by Instabilities and the Rotational Force: Implications for Heating, Azimuthal Flow, and the Parker Spiral Magnetic Field
Daniel Verscharen, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Sofiane Bourouaine +1
Protons and alpha particles in the fast solar wind are only weakly collisional and exhibit a number of non-equilibrium features, including relative drifts between particle species.…
Magnetohydrodynamic Slow Mode with Drifting He: Implications for Coronal Seismology and the Solar Wind
Joseph V. Hollweg, Daniel Verscharen, Benjamin D. G. Chandran
The MHD slow mode wave has application to coronal seismology, MHD turbulence, and the solar wind where it can be produced by parametric instabilities. We consider analytically how…
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…
Resonant Interactions Between Protons and Oblique Alfvén/Ion-Cyclotron Waves
Peera Pongkitiwanichakul, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Philip A. Isenberg +1
Resonant interactions between ions and Alfvén/ion-cyclotron (A/IC) waves may play an important role in the heating and acceleration of the fast solar wind. Although such interactio…
Alfven Wave Reflection and Turbulent Heating in the Solar Wind from 1 Solar Radius to 1 AU: an Analytical Treatment
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Joseph V. Hollweg
We study the propagation, reflection, and turbulent dissipation of Alfven waves in coronal holes and the solar wind. We start with the Heinemann-Olbert equations, which describe no…
The Turbulent Heating Rate in Strong MHD Turbulence with Nonzero Cross Helicity
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Eliot Quataert, Gregory G. Howes +2
Different results for the cascade power in strong, incompressible MHD turbulence with nonzero cross helicity appear in the literature. In this paper, we discuss the conditions unde…
