Transport of electrons in tangled magnetic fields
Daniel Verscharen, Natasha Jeffrey, Anton Artemyev +6
Cosmic magnetic fields are typically inhomogeneous and often highly tangled due to large-scale plasma flows, turbulence, and instabilities. If the variations in the magnetic field…
The Damping and Instability of Ion-acoustic Waves in the Solar Wind: Solar Orbiter Observations
Hao Ran, Daniel Verscharen, Jesse Coburn +6
Observations of solar wind velocity distribution functions (VDFs) commonly reveal fine-scale structures. These features strongly influence kinetic processes such as wave damping an…
Observational Constraints on the Radial Evolution of O Temperature and Differential Flow in the Inner Heliosphere
Yeimy J. Rivera, Kristopher G. Klein, Joseph H. Wang +15
Over decades of solar wind observations, heavy ions have been observed to have a higher temperature and flow faster than protons in the solar corona and heliosphere. Remote observa…
Langmuir Wave Excitation in Solar-wind Magnetic Holes
Jingting Liu, Daniel Verscharen, Jesse Coburn +8
Magnetic holes are structures commonly observed in various space plasma environments throughout the solar system, including the solar wind. These structures are characterized by a…
Quasi-parallel anti-sunward propagating whistler waves associated to the electron-deficit in the near-Sun solar wind: Particle-in-Cell simulation
Alfredo Micera, Daniel Verscharen, Jesse T. Coburn +1
In-situ observations of the solar wind have shown that the electron velocity distribution function (VDF) consists of a quasi-Maxwellian core, comprising most of the electron popula…
