Measurements on the kinetic physics in streamer dynamics
Forrest Mozer, Kyungeun Choi, Richard Sydora +1
A major goal of solar physics is understanding the transition of the medium from the closed-loop magnetic configuration of the corona to the open structure of the heliospheric curr…
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…
On the origin of the dominant waves in the extended solar corona
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Orlando Romeo +2
The extended solar corona at 10-30 solar radii is essentially devoid of all waves below 100 kHz other than triggered ion acoustic waves (TIAW), which consist of a low frequency ele…
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…
Direct Measurements of Synchrotron-Emitting Electrons at Near-Sun Shocks
I. C. Jebaraj, O. V. Agapitov, M. Gedalin +22
In this study, we present the first-ever direct measurements of synchrotron-emitting heliospheric traveling shocks, intercepted by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its close enc…
