Energy Evolution from the Chromosphere to the Heliosphere in the 2021 October 28 Solar Eruption
Katharine K. Reeves, Daniel B. Seaton, Cynthia Cattell +20
We perform a detailed study of the energetics for a well-observed solar eruption and flare that occurred on 28 October 2021. This event included a GOES class X1.0 flare, a global E…
Strong Prevalence of Hammerhead Velocity Distributions Close to the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Srijan Bharati Das, Jaye L. Verniero, Samuel T. Badman +13
The solar wind undergoes non-adiabatic heating as it travels away from the Sun. The velocity phase space distribution of non-equilibrium ions in the solar wind indicate a source of…
In situ Evidence of 5-minute Oscillations from Parker Solar Probe
Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Olga Panasenco +19
The Sun's surface vibrates in characteristic 5-minute oscillations, known as p-modes, generated by sound waves trapped within the convection zone. Although these oscillations have…
Energy-dependent SEP Fe/O abundances during the May 2024 superstorm
G. D. Muro, C. M. S. Cohen, Z. Xu +16
During mid-May 2024, active region (AR) 13664 produced a series of M- and X-class flares along with several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that resulted in exceptionally strong auro…
Multi-spacecraft Measurements of the Evolving Geometry of the Solar Alfvén Surface Over Half a Solar Cycle
Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens, Stuart D. Bale +18
The geometry of a star's Alfvén surface determines stellar angular momentum loss, separates a causally distinct 'corona' and stellar wind, and potentially affects exoplanetary hab…
Parallel Collisionless Shocks in strongly Magnetized Electron-Ion Plasma. I. Temperature anisotropies
Mohamad Shalaby, Antoine Bret, Federico Fraschetti
Collisionless electron-ion shocks are fundamental to astrophysical plasmas, yet their behavior in strong magnetic fields remains poorly understood. Using Particle-in-Cell (PIC) sim…
