Averaging Effects on the Solar Wind Alfven Mach Number: Implications for Switchbacks and Alfven Transition
Joshua Goodwill, Subash Adhikari, Francesco Pecora +10
Averaging techniques in solar wind measurements have been a longstanding subject of debate. Using Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations from encounters 1 to 19, we investigate how…
Shear interaction and acceleration of a corotating stream detected by Parker Solar Probe
Andrea Verdini, Simone Landi, Emanuele Papini +4
Recent analysis of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter data indicates that fluctuations energy is transferred to the bulk flow in fast streams of the solar wind at heliocent…
On the Radial Evolution of the Solar Wind : The Source Alignment Method Applied to Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter Observations
Jean-Baptiste Dakeyo, Tamar Ervin, Stuart Bale +10
The properties of the solar wind, as measured in situ throughout the heliosphere, depend both on the characteristics of its coronal source and on the intrinsic processes governing…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of Compound Reconnection Exhaust Boundaries and Mirror-Mode Structures in the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet
Weijie Sun, Tai Phan, Jia Huang +12
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process that can drive rapid conversion of magnetic energy into plasma bulk flows, thermal heating, and particle acceleration in spa…
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 (…
Parker Solar Probe observations of solar energetic particle (SEP) events with inverse velocity arrival (IVA) features
Zigong Xu, C. M. S. Cohen, R. A. Leske +21
In SEP events, velocity dispersion (VD) is characterized by the earlier arrival of faster, higher-energy particles relative to slower ones, assuming negligible acceleration time an…
