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…
Laboratory measurements of energy partitioning and anomalous electron heating in magnetized, perpendicular collisionless shocks
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, S. Totorica, J. Griff-McMahon +6
We present laboratory results on energy partitioning from supercritical, magnetized collisionless shock experiments (, ). We report the first ob…
Characterization of the Trans-Alfvénic Region Using Observations from Parker Solar Probe
Subash Adhikari, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Joshua Goodwill +14
Close to Earth the solar wind is usually super-Alfvénic, i.e. the speed of the solar wind is much larger than the Alfvén speed. However, in the lower coronal regions, the solar w…
Flow Crossover and Parallel Outflow during Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
Theerasarn Pianpanit, Kittipat Malakit, Pakkapawn Prapan +5
Using particle-in-cell simulations that label ions and electrons according to their initial inflow region, we find that during 2D collisionless magnetic reconnection, the bulk flow…
Quasilinear Wave "Reflection" Due to Proton Heating by an Imbalanced Turbulent Cascade
Philip A. Isenberg, Bernard J. Vasquez, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +1
We investigate the quasilinear effects of the resonant wave-particle interaction under conditions of imbalanced turbulent heating in the collisionless coronal hole. We find that ve…
