Local Interstellar Flow Parameters from the First Intersection of IMAP-Lo's Parameter Tubes
Nathan A. Schwadron, Mitchell M. Shen, Fatemeh Rahmanifard +24
The Sun's motion through the interstellar medium creates a flow of interstellar neutral (ISN) atoms through the heliosphere. ISN He, due to its high universal abundance and relativ…
Global Heliospheric Termination Shock Strength in the Solar-Interstellar Interaction
E. J. Zirnstein, R. Kumar, B. L. Shrestha +4
A heliospheric termination shock (HTS) surrounds our solar system at approximately 100 astronomical units from the Sun, where the expanding solar wind (SW) is compressed and heated…
Comparing Methods for Calculating Solar Energetic Particle Intensities: Re-binning versus Spectral Binning
M. E. Cuesta, L. Y. Khoo, G. Livadiotis +13
Solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been observed for decades in the interplanetary medium by spacecraft measuring the intensity of energetic ions and electrons. These inten…
Magnetic reconnection-driven energization of protons up to 400 keV at the near-Sun heliospheric current sheet
M. I. Desai, J. F. Drake, T. Phan +22
We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ~400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NA…
Diverse dust populations in the near-Sun environment characterized by PSP/ISIS
M. M. Shen, J. R. Szalay, P. Pokorný +9
The Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (ISIS) energetic particle instrument suite on Parker Solar Probe is dedicated to measuring energetic ions and electrons in th…
