Evidence for the helicity barrier from measurements of the turbulence transition range in the solar wind
J. R. McIntyre, C. H. K. Chen, J. Squire +2
The means by which the turbulent cascade of energy is dissipated in the solar wind, and in other astrophysical systems, is a major open question. It has recently been proposed that…

The relation between magnetic switchbacks and turbulence in the inner heliosphere
A. Larosa, C. H. K Chen, J. R. McIntyre +1
We investigate the relation between turbulence and magnetic field switchbacks in the inner heliosphere below 0.5 AU in a distance and scale dependent manner. The analysis is perfor…

Properties underlying the variation of the magnetic field spectral index in the inner solar wind
J. R. McIntyre, C. H. K. Chen, A. Larosa
Using data from orbits one to eleven of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission, the magnetic field spectral index was measured across a range of heliocentric distances. The previousl…
