A Modified Version of Taylor's Hypothesis for Solar Probe Plus Observations
Kristopher G. Klein, Jean C. Perez, Daniel Verscharen +2
The Solar Probe Plus (SPP) spacecraft will explore the near-Sun environment, reaching heliocentric distances less than . Near Earth, spacecraft measurements of fluctu…
Deceleration of Alpha Particles in the Solar Wind by Instabilities and the Rotational Force: Implications for Heating, Azimuthal Flow, and the Parker Spiral Magnetic Field
Daniel Verscharen, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Sofiane Bourouaine +1
Protons and alpha particles in the fast solar wind are only weakly collisional and exhibit a number of non-equilibrium features, including relative drifts between particle species.…
Traveling solar-wind bulk-velocity fluctuations and their effects on electron heating in the inner heliosphere
Hans J. Fahr, Igor V. Chashei, Daniel Verscharen
Ambient plasma electrons undergo strong heating in regions associated with compressive traveling interplanetary solar-wind bulk-velocity jumps due to their specific interactions wi…
Magnetohydrodynamic Slow Mode with Drifting He: Implications for Coronal Seismology and the Solar Wind
Joseph V. Hollweg, Daniel Verscharen, Benjamin D. G. Chandran
The MHD slow mode wave has application to coronal seismology, MHD turbulence, and the solar wind where it can be produced by parametric instabilities. We consider analytically how…
PIC Simulations of Continuously Driven Mirror and Ion Cyclotron Instabilities in High Beta Astrophysical and Heliospheric Plasmas
Mario Riquelme, Eliot Quataert, Daniel Verscharen
We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to study the nonlinear evolution of ion velocity space instabilities in an idealized problem in which a background velocity shear continuo…
