Direct Evidence of Non-Ideal Dissipative Dynamics in Solar Wind Magnetic Switchbacks
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Kyung-Eun Choi +1
Magnetic switchbacks, large-amplitude, localized Alfvenic like rotations of the solar wind magnetic field, have been the subject of intensive investigation, with approximately 200…

Magnetic switchback formation: a review of proposed mechanisms
Peter F. Wyper, Jonathan Squire, Etienne Pariat +19
Magnetic switchbacks are large amplitude deflections of the magnetic field within the solar wind. They are Alfvénic in character and so are associated with a spike in velocity and…
