Enhanced proton parallel temperature inside patches of switchbacks in the inner heliosphere
L. D. Woodham, T. S. Horbury, L. Matteini +16
Switchbacks are discrete angular deflections in the solar wind magnetic field that have been observed throughout the heliosphere. Recent observations by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) ha…
Statistical analysis of orientation, shape, and size of solar wind switchbacks
Ronan Laker, Timothy S. Horbury, Stuart D. Bale +9
One of the main discoveries from the first two orbits of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) was the presence of magnetic switchbacks, whose deflections dominated the magnetic field measureme…
Switchbacks as signatures of magnetic flux ropes generated by interchange reconnection in the corona
J. F. Drake, O. Agapitov, M. Swisdak +10
The structure of magnetic flux ropes injected into the solar wind during reconnection in the coronal atmosphere is explored with particle-in-cell simulations and compared with in s…
The Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action
I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182
Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…
Proton Core Behaviour Inside Magnetic Field Switchbacks
Thomas Woolley, Lorenzo Matteini, Timothy S. Horbury +10
During Parker Solar Probe's first two orbits there are widespread observations of rapid magnetic field reversals known as switchbacks. These switchbacks are extensively found in th…
Parker Solar Probe In-Situ Observations of Magnetic Reconnection Exhausts During Encounter 1
T. D. Phan, S. D. Bale, J. P. Eastwood +23
Magnetic reconnection in current sheets converts magnetic energy into particle energy. The process may play an important role in the acceleration and heating of the solar wind clos…
