A Quasi-Linear Diffusion Model for Resonant Wave-Particle Instability in Homogeneous Plasma
Seong-Yeop Jeong, Daniel Verscharen, Robert T. Wicks +1
In this paper, we develop a model to describe the generalized wave-particle instability in a quasi-neutral plasma. We analyze the quasi-linear diffusion equation for particles by e…
Polytropic Behavior of Solar Wind Protons Observed by Parker Solar Probe
Georgios Nicolaou, George Livadiotis, Robert T. Wicks +2
A polytropic process describes the transition of a fluid from one state to another through a specific relationship between the fluid density and temperature. The value of the polyt…
The Evolution of Inverted Magnetic Fields Through the Inner Heliosphere
Allan Macneil, Mathew Owens, Robert Wicks +3
Local inversions are often observed in the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF), but their origins and evolution are not yet fully understood.Parker Solar Probe has recently observed…
Dependence of Solar Wind Proton Temperature on the Polarisation Properties of Alfvénic Fluctuations at Ion-kinetic Scales
L. D. Woodham, R. T. Wicks, D. Verscharen +2
We use fluctuating magnetic helicity to investigate the polarisation properties of Alfvénic fluctuations at ion-kinetic scales in the solar wind as a function of , the ratio o…
