On the Statistics of Elsasser Increments in Solar Wind and Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Juan C. Palacios, Sofiane Bourouaine, Jean C. Perez

We investigate the dependency with scale of the empirical probability distribution functions (PDF) of Elsasser increments using large sets of WIND data (collected between 1995 and…

Features of magnetic field switchbacks in relation to the local-field geometry of large-amplitude Alfvénic oscillations: \emph{Wind} and \emph{PSP} observations

S. Bourouaine, J. C. Perez, N. E. Raouafi +3

In this letter we report observations of magnetic switchback (SB) features near 1 au using data from the \emph{Wind} spacecraft. These features appear to be strikingly similar to t…

Applicability of Taylor's Hypothesis during Parker Solar Probe perihelia

Jean C. Perez, Sofiane Bourouaine, Christopher H. K. Chen +1

We investigate the validity of Taylor's Hypothesis (TH) in the analysis of Alfvénic fluctuations of velocity and magnetic fields in solar wind streams measured by Parker Solar Prob…

How Alfvén waves energize the solar wind: heat vs work

Jean C. Perez, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Kristopher G. Klein +1

A growing body of evidence suggests that the solar wind is powered to a large extent by an Alfvén-wave (AW) energy flux. AWs energize the solar wind via two mechanisms: heating and…

Turbulence characteristics of switchbacks and non-switchbacks intervals observed by \emph{Parker Solar Probe}

Sofiane Bourouaine, Jean C. Perez, Kristopher C. Klein +5

We use \emph{Parker Solar Probe} (\emph{PSP}) in-situ measurements to analyze the characteristics of solar wind turbulence during the first solar encounter covering radial distance…

Two-time energy spectrum of weak magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

Jean C. Perez, Augustus A. Azelis, Sofiane Bourouaine

In this work a weak-turbulence closure is used to determine the structure of the two-time power spectrum of weak magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence from the nonlinear equations d…
