Kolmogorov versus Iroshnikov-Kraichnan spectra: Consequences for ion heating in the solar wind
C. S. Ng, A. Bhattacharjee, D. Munsi +2
Whether the phenomenology governing MHD turbulence is Kolmogorov or Iroshnikov-Kraichnan (IK) remains an open question, theoretically as well as observationally. The ion heating pr…
The Effect of Magnetic Turbulence Energy Spectra and Pickup Ions on the Heating of the Solar Wind
C. S. Ng, A. Bhattacharjee, P. A. Isenberg +2
In recent years, a phenomenological solar wind heating model based on a turbulent energy cascade prescribed by the Kolmogorov theory has produced reasonably good agreement with obs…
The Coronal Physics Investigator (CPI) Experiment for ISS: A New Vision for Understanding Solar Wind Acceleration
J. L. Kohl, S. R. Cranmer, J. C. Raymond +9
In February 2011 we proposed a NASA Explorer Mission of Opportunity program to develop and operate a large-aperture ultraviolet coronagraph spectrometer called the Coronal Physics…
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…
Non-Maxwellian Proton Velocity Distributions in Nonradiative Shocks
J. C. Raymond, Philip A. Isenberg, J. M. Laming
The Balmer line profiles of nonradiative supernova remnant shocks provide the means to measure the post-shock proton velocity distribution. While most analyses assume a Maxwellian…
SOHO CTOF Observations of Interstellar He+ Pickup Ion Enhancements in Solar Wind Compression Regions
L. Saul, E. Moebius, Y. Litvinenko +7
We present a recent analysis with 1996 SOHO CELIAS CTOF data, which reveals correlations of He+ pickup ion fluxes and spectra with the magnetic field strength and solar wind densit…
