Proton Temperature Anisotropy Across Interplanetary Shocks: A Statistical Analysis with WIND observations
Zeping Jin, Lingling Zhao, Xingyu Zhu +6
Interplanetary (IP) shocks efficiently modify the proton temperature anisotropy of the solar wind. Analyzing ~800 IP shocks observed by the Wind spacecraft from 1997-2024, we prese…
Parallel and perpendicular diffusion of energetic particles in the near-Sun solar wind observed by Parker Solar Probe
Nibuna Siranjeevi Madam Subashchandar, Lingling Zhao, Andreas Shalchi +6
We investigate energetic particle diffusion in the inner heliosphere (approximately 0.06-0.3 AU) explored by Parker Solar Probe (PSP). Parallel (kappa_parallel) and perpendicular (…
An anisotropic plasma model of the heliospheric interface
Vladimir Florinski, Dinshaw S. Balsara, Deepak Bhoriya +4
We present a pioneering model of the interaction between the solar wind and the surrounding interstellar medium that includes the possibility of different pressures in directions p…
Turbulence, Waves, and Taylor's Hypothesis for Heliosheath Observations
L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, M. Opher +6
Magnetic field fluctuations measured in the heliosheath by the Voyager spacecraft are often characterized as compressible, as indicated by a strong fluctuating component parallel t…
