Proton Temperature Anisotropy Across Interplanetary Shocks: A Statistical Analysis with WIND observations

Zeping Jin, Lingling Zhao, Xingyu Zhu +6

Interplanetary (IP) shocks efficiently modify the proton temperature anisotropy of the solar wind. Analyzing ~800 IP shocks observed by the Wind spacecraft from 1997-2024, we prese…

Parallel and perpendicular diffusion of energetic particles in the near-Sun solar wind observed by Parker Solar Probe

Nibuna Siranjeevi Madam Subashchandar, Lingling Zhao, Andreas Shalchi +6

We investigate energetic particle diffusion in the inner heliosphere (approximately 0.06-0.3 AU) explored by Parker Solar Probe (PSP). Parallel (kappa_parallel) and perpendicular (…

Analysis of Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes Covering the Whole Ulysses Mission

Yu Chen, Qiang Hu, Jakobus le Roux

Small-scale magnetic flux ropes, in the solar wind, have been studied for decades via the approach of both simulation and observation. Statistical analysis utilizing various in-sit…

Solar energetic particle propagation in wave turbulence and the possibility of wave generation

R. D. Strauss, J. A. le Roux

A complete theory for the complex interaction between solar energetic particles and the turbulent interplanetary magnetic field remains elusive. In this work we aim to contribute t…

Automated detection of small-scale magnetic flux ropes in the solar wind: First results from the Wind spacecraft measurements

Qiang Hu, Jinlei Zheng, Yu Chen +2

We have developed a new automated small-scale magnetic flux rope (SSMFR) detection algorithm based on the Grad-Shafranov (GS) reconstruction technique. We have applied this detecti…

Small-scale magnetic islands in the solar wind and their role in particle acceleration. Part 1: Dynamics of magnetic islands near the heliospheric current sheet

O. Khabarova, G. P. Zank, G. Li +4

Increases of ion fluxes in the keV-MeV range are sometimes observed near the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) during periods when other sources are absent. These resemble solar ene…

The effects of a kappa-distribution in the heliosheath on the global heliosphere and ENA flux at 1 AU

J. Heerikhuisen, N. V. Pogorelov, V. Florinski +2

We investigate heliosheath energetic neutral atom (ENA) fluxes at keV energies, by assuming that the heliosheath proton distribution can be approximated by a kappa-distribution. Th…
