Evolution and Impact of Switchbacks Throughout the Heliosphere
Alfred Mallet, Chen Shi, Anna Tenerani +23
Magnetic switchbacks are large-amplitude fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field, and appear frequently in the near-Sun solar wind explored recently by Parker Solar Probe…
Generation and Expansion-Driven Growth of Switchbacks in the Outer Solar Corona and Solar Wind
Nikos Sioulas, Marco Velli, Chen Shi +6
We analyze \emph{Parker Solar Probe} and \emph{Solar Orbiter} measurements of magnetic-field reversals (``switchbacks'') across the Alfvén surface (), where is…
Evolution of an Alfvén Wave-Driven Proton Beam in the Expanding Solar Wind
J. S. Bianco, A. Tenerani, C. Gonzalez +2
We investigate the self-consistent formation and long-term evolution of proton beams in the expanding solar wind using an ensemble of one-dimensional hybrid expanding box simulatio…
Properties of Magnetic Switchbacks in the Near-Sun Solar Wind
Samuel T. Badman, Naïs Fargette, Lorenzo Matteini +24
Magnetic switchbacks are fluctuations in the solar wind in which the interplanetary magnetic field sharply deflects away from its background direction so as to create folds in magn…
Ion-Scale Solitary Structures in the Solar Wind Observed by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe
Yufei Yang, Timothy S. Horbury, Domenico Trotta +12
We investigate a class of ion-scale magnetic solitary structures in the solar wind, characterized by distinct magnetic field enhancements and bipolar rotations over spatial scales…
Temperature anisotropy instabilities driven by intermittent velocity shears in the solar wind
Simon Opie, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher H. K. Chen +5
Where and under what conditions the transfer of energy between electromagnetic fields and particles takes place in the solar wind remains an open question. We investigate the condi…
