On the scaling and anisotropy of two subranges in the inertial range of solar wind turbulence
Honghong Wu, Jiansen He, Liping Yang +3
Intermittency and anisotropy are two important aspects of plasma turbulence, which the solar wind provides a natural laboratory to investigate. However, their forms and nature are…
Large Amplitude Switchback Turbulence: Possible Magnetic Velocity Alignment Structures
Honghong Wu, Chuanyi Tu, Xin Wang +1
Switchbacks are widely acknowledged phenomena observed by the Parker Solar Probe and appear to occur in patches. Previous studies focused on the fluctuations at the magnetic revers…
Spectral Anisotropy of Elsässer Variables in Two Dimensional Wave-vector Space as Observed in the Fast Solar Wind Turbulence
Limei Yan, Jiansen He, Lei Zhang +6
Intensive studies have been conducted to understand the anisotropy of solar wind turbulence. However, the anisotropy of Elsässer variables () in 2D wave-vector spac…
Formation of Rotational Discontinuities in Compressive three-dimensional MHD Turbulence
Liping Yang, Lei Zhang, Jiansen He +6
Measurements of solar wind turbulence reveal the ubiquity of discontinuities. In this study, we investigate how the discontinuities, especially rotational discontinuities (RDs), ar…
Occurrence Rates and Heating Effects of Tangential and Rotational Discontinuities as Obtained from Three-dimensional Simulation of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Lei Zhang, Jiansen He, Chuanyi Tu +4
In solar wind, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) discontinuities are ubiquitous and often found to be at the origin of turbulence intermittency. They may also play a key role in the turbul…
Deciphering Solar Magnetic Activity I: On The Relationship Between The Sunspot Cycle And The Evolution Of Small Magnetic Features
Scott W. McIntosh, Xin Wang, Robert J. Leamon +6
Sunspots are a canonical marker of the Sun's internal magnetic field which flips polarity every ~22-years. The principal variation of sunspots, an ~11-year variation in number, mod…
