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…
On flying near the base of a pseudo-streamer
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Kyungeun Choi +1
Near the 10 solar radius perihelion of Parker Solar Probe encounter 24, a confined region containing an enhanced plasma density (25,000 per cubic centimeter) and broadband electros…
Intermingled open and closed magnetic field lines near the radial origin of the heliospheric current sheet
Forrest Mozer, Andrii Voshchepynets, Oleksiy Agapitov +2
Aims. To investigate the magnetic field geometry and waves in the region near the Sun where the heliospheric current sheet is formed. Methods. One good example of apparent open and…
Parallel Electric Fields And Electron Heating Observed In The Young Solar Wind
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Kyung-Eu Choi +1
The largest electric fields between 18 and 30 solar radii are in narrow band waves simultaneously observed at a few Hz (somewhat above the local proton gyrofrequency) and a few hun…
