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…
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…
Deriving the bulk properties of solar wind electrons observed by Solar Orbiter: A preliminary study of electron plasma thermodynamics
Georgios Nicolaou, Robert T. Wicks, Christopher J. Owen +8
We demonstrate the calculation of solar wind electron bulk parameters from recent observations by Solar Wind Analyser Electron Analyser System on board Solar Orbiter. We use our me…
Evolving Solar Wind Flow Properties of Magnetic Inversions Observed by Helios
Allan R Macneil, Mathew J Owens, Robert T Wicks +1
In its first encounter at solar distances as close as r = 0.16AU, Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed numerous local reversals, or inversions, in the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF…
