Compression and Reconnection Investigations of the MagnetoPause (CRIMP): A Mission Concept to Uncover the Impact of Mesoscale Reconnection and Plasma Outflow Processes at the Dayside Magnetopause
Jason M. H. Beedle, Bryan C. Cline, Samuel T. Badman +18
The Compression and Reconnection Investigations of the Magnetopause (CRIMP) mission is a hypothesis-driven, Heliophysics Medium-Class Explorer (MIDEX) Announcement of Opportunity (…
Properties of Magnetic Switchbacks in the Near-Sun Solar Wind
Samuel T. Badman, Naïs Fargette, Lorenzo Matteini +24
Magnetic switchbacks are fluctuations in the solar wind in which the interplanetary magnetic field sharply deflects away from its background direction so as to create folds in magn…
In situ Evidence of 5-minute Oscillations from Parker Solar Probe
Zesen Huang, Marco Velli, Olga Panasenco +19
The Sun's surface vibrates in characteristic 5-minute oscillations, known as p-modes, generated by sound waves trapped within the convection zone. Although these oscillations have…
Formation of Magnetic Switchbacks via expanding Alfvén Waves
Trevor A. Bowen, Alfred Mallet, Corina I. Dunn +8
Context. Large-amplitude inversions of the solar wind's interplanetary magnetic field have long been documented; however, observations from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission hav…
Electron Beam Propagation and Radio-Wave Scattering in the Inner Heliosphere using Five Spacecraft
Luis Alberto Cañizares, Sam T. Badman, Nicolina Chrysaphi +4
Solar energetic particles such as electrons can be accelerated to mildly-relativistic velocities in the solar corona. These electrons travel through the turbulent corona generating…
Differentiating the acceleration mechanisms in the slow and Alfvénic slow solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, J. L. Verniero +18
In the corona, plasma is accelerated to hundreds of kilometers per second, and heated to temperatures hundreds of times hotter than the Sun's surface, before it escapes to form the…
