Solar Wind Heating Near the Sun: A Radial Evolution Approach
Yogesh, Leon Ofman, Kristopher Klein +19
Characterizing the plasma state in the near-Sun environment is essential to constrain the mechanisms that heat and accelerate the solar wind. In this study, we use Parker Solar Pro…

Free Energy Sources of Ion-scale Waves Observed by Parker Solar Probe
Niranjana Shankarappa, Kristopher G. Klein, Mihailo M. MartinoviÄ +6
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observes abundant circularly polarized ion-scale waves throughout the inner heliosphere. These waves are a signature of the interplay between plasma microi…

Evidence of Interaction between Ion-Scale Waves and Ion Velocity Distributions in the Solar Wind
Yogesh, Leon Ofman, Scott A Boardsen +9
Recent in situ observations from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) near perihelia reveal ion beams, temperature anisotropies, and kinetic wave activity. These features are likely linked to…
