Cyclotron breaking: a mechanism for parallel ion cyclotron waves to heat the fast solar wind
Evan L. Yerger, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Vincent David +2
The () mission has observed near-continuous power in parallel ion cyclotron waves (PICWs) in the young, fast solar wind. These waves are…

Intermittent, Reflection-Driven, Strong Imbalanced MHD Turbulence
B. D. G. Chandran, N. Sioulas, S. Bale +4
We develop a phenomenological model of strong imbalanced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence that accounts for intermittency and the reflection of Alfven waves by spatial variatio…

Generalized Expanding-Box Formulations of Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics in the Solar Wind
Vincent David, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Romain Meyrand +2
We derive a set of simplified equations that can be used for numerical studies of reduced magnetohydrodynamic turbulence within a small patch of the radially expanding solar wind.…
