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…
Self-organization of local streamline structures and energy transfer rate in compressible plasma turbulence
Simone Benella, Virgilio Quattrociocchi, Emanuele Papini +4
We examine how local streamline topology and energy cascade rate self-organize in plasma turbulence for both compressible and incompressible regimes. Using a fully-compressible Hal…
Evolution of ion distribution functions in ionospheric plasmas perturbed by Alfvén waves
Dario Recchiuti, Luca Franci, Lorenzo Matteini +3
This study investigates ion kinetic effects during the parametric decay instability (PDI) of parallel-propagating Alfvén waves under plasma conditions characteristic of the Earth'…
The effects of expansion and turbulence on the interplanetary evolution of a magnetic cloud
Mattia Sangalli, Andrea Verdini, Simone Landi +1
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) represent the most extreme solar products, showing complex and dynamic structures when detected in situ. They are often preceded by a shock and carry…
