Frequency Dispersed Ion Acoustic Waves in the Near Sun Solar Wind: Signatures of Impulsive Ion Beams
David M. Malaspina, Robert E. Ergun, Iver H. Cairns +4
This work reports a novel plasma wave observation in the near-Sun solar wind: frequency-dispersed ion acoustic waves. Similar waves were previously reported in association with int…
Proton and Alpha Driven Instabilities in an Ion Cyclotron Wave Event
Michael D. McManus, Kristopher G. Klein, Davin Larson +8
Ion scale wave events or "wave storms" in the solar wind are characterised by enhancements in magnetic field fluctuations as well as coherent magnetic field polarisation signatures…
Estimates of Proton and Electron Heating Rates Extended to the Near-Sun Environment
R. Bandyopadhyay, C. M. Meyer, W. H. Matthaeus +11
A central problem of space plasma physics is how protons and electrons are heated in a turbulent, magnetized plasma. The differential heating of charged species due to dissipation…
Observations and Modeling of Unstable Proton and Alpha Particle Velocity Distributions in Sub-Alfvenic Solar Wind at PSP Perihelia
Leon Ofman, Scott A Boardsen, Lan K Jian +7
Past observations show that solar wind (SW) acceleration occurs inside the sub-Alfvenic region, reaching the local Alfven speed at typical distances ~ 10 - 20 Rs (solar radii). Rec…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of High Plasma Beta Solar Wind from Streamer Belt
Jia Huang, J. C. Kasper, Davin E. Larson +23
In general, slow solar wind from the streamer belt forms a high plasma beta equatorial plasma sheet around the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing, namely the heliospheric pl…
The Radial Evolution of the Solar Wind as Organized by Electron Distribution Parameters
J. S. Halekas, P. Whittlesey, D. E. Larson +9
We utilize observations from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) to study the radial evolution of the solar wind in the inner heliosphere. We analyze electron velocity distribution functi…
