Coherent deflection pattern and associated temperature enhancements in the near-Sun solar wind
R. Laker, T. S. Horbury, L. D. Woodham +2
Measurements of transverse magnetic field and velocity components from Parker Solar Probe have revealed a coherent quasi-periodic pattern in the near-Sun solar wind. As well as bei…
Plasma beta dependence of the ion-scale spectral break of solar wind turbulence: high-resolution 2D hybrid simulations
Luca Franci, Simone Landi, Lorenzo Matteini +2
We investigate properties of the ion-scale spectral break of solar wind turbulence by means of two-dimensional high-resolution hybrid particle-in-cell simulations. We impose an ini…
Experimental determination of whistler wave dispersion relation in the solar wind
D. Stansby, T. S. Horbury, C. H. K. Chen +1
The origins and properties of large amplitude whistler wave packets in the solar wind are still unclear. In this Letter we utilise single spacecraft electric and magnetic field wav…
Ion kinetic energy conservation and magnetic field strength constancy in multi-fluid solar wind Alfvénic turbulence
L. Matteini, T. S. Horbury, F. Pantellini +2
We investigate properties of the plasma fluid motion in the large amplitude low frequency fluctuations of highly Alfvénic fast solar wind. We show that protons locally conserve tot…
The three-dimensional evolution of ion-scale current sheets: tearing and drift-kink instabilities in the presence of proton temperature anisotropy
Peter Gingell, David Burgess, Lorenzo Matteini
We present the first three-dimensional hybrid simulations of the evolution of ion-scale current sheets, with an investigation of the role of temperature anisotropy and associated k…
