Thermal energy budget of electrons in the inner heliosphere: Parker Solar Probe Observations

Joel B. Abraham, Daniel Verscharen, Robert T. Wicks +4

We present an observational analysis of the electron thermal energy budget using data from Parker Solar Probe. We use the macroscopic moments, obtained from our fits to the measure…

The radial variation of the solar wind turbulence spectra near the kinetic break scale from Parker Solar Probe measurements

S. Lotz, A. E. Nel, R. T. Wicks +7

In this study we examine the radial dependence of the inertial and dissipation range indices, as well as the spectral break separating the inertial and dissipation range in power d…

The essential role of multi-point measurements in investigations of turbulence, three-dimensional structure, and dynamics: the solar wind beyond single scale and the Taylor Hypothesis

W. H. Matthaeus, S. Adhikari, R. Bandyopadhyay +49

Space plasmas are three-dimensional dynamic entities. Except under very special circumstances, their structure in space and their behavior in time are not related in any simple way…

Energy transport during 3D small-scale reconnection driven by anisotropic plasma turbulence

Jeffersson A. Agudelo Rueda, Daniel Verscharen, Robert T. Wicks +6

Energy dissipation in collisionless plasmas is a longstanding fundamental physics problem. Although it is well known that magnetic reconnection and turbulence are coupled and trans…

Radial evolution of thermal and suprathermal electron populations in the slow solar wind from 0.13 to 0.5 au : Parker Solar Probe Observations

Joel B. Abraham, Christopher J Owen, Daniel Verscharen +8

We develop and apply a bespoke fitting routine to a large volume of solar wind electron distribution data measured by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) over its first five orbits, covering…

The Stability of the Electron Strahl against the Oblique Fast-magnetosonic/Whistler Instability in the Inner Heliosphere

Seong-Yeop Jeong, Joel B. Abraham, Daniel Verscharen +8

We analyze the micro-kinetic stability of the electron strahl in the solar wind depending on heliocentric distance. The oblique fast-magnetosonic/whistler (FM/W) instability has em…
