The Damping and Instability of Ion-acoustic Waves in the Solar Wind: Solar Orbiter Observations
Hao Ran, Daniel Verscharen, Jesse Coburn +6
Observations of solar wind velocity distribution functions (VDFs) commonly reveal fine-scale structures. These features strongly influence kinetic processes such as wave damping an…
Observational Constraints on the Radial Evolution of O Temperature and Differential Flow in the Inner Heliosphere
Yeimy J. Rivera, Kristopher G. Klein, Joseph H. Wang +15
Over decades of solar wind observations, heavy ions have been observed to have a higher temperature and flow faster than protons in the solar corona and heliosphere. Remote observa…
Langmuir Wave Excitation in Solar-wind Magnetic Holes
Jingting Liu, Daniel Verscharen, Jesse Coburn +8
Magnetic holes are structures commonly observed in various space plasma environments throughout the solar system, including the solar wind. These structures are characterized by a…
How does the limited resolution of space plasma analyzers affect the accuracy of space plasma measurements?
Georgios Nicolaou, Charalambos Ioannou, Christopher Owen +3
We investigate the systematic errors in measured plasma velocity distribution functions and their corresponding velocity moments, arising from the limited energy and angular resolu…
