Correlations at large scales and the onset of turbulence in the fast solar wind
Robert T. Wicks, D. Aaron Roberts, Alfred Mallet +3
We show that the scaling of structure functions of magnetic and velocity fields in a mostly highly Alfvénic fast solar wind stream depends strongly on the joint distribution of the…
Solar Wind Turbulence and the Role of Ion Instabilities
Olga Alexandrova, Christopher H. K. Chen, Luca Sorriso-Valvo +2
Solar wind is probably the best laboratory to study turbulence in astrophysical plasmas. In addition to the presence of magnetic field, the differences with neutral fluid isotropic…
The Nature of Subproton Scale Turbulence in the Solar Wind
C. H. K. Chen, S. Boldyrev, Q. Xia +1
The nature of subproton scale fluctuations in the solar wind is an open question, partly because two similar types of electromagnetic turbulence can occur: kinetic Alfven turbulenc…
Residual Energy Spectrum of Solar Wind Turbulence
C. H. K. Chen, S. D. Bale, C. S. Salem +1
It has long been known that the energy in velocity and magnetic field fluctuations in the solar wind is not in equipartition. In this paper, we present an analysis of 5 years of Wi…
Electron heat conduction in the solar wind: transition from Spitzer-Härm to the collisionless limit
S. D. Bale, M. Pulupa, C. Salem +2
We use a statistically significant set of measurements to show that the field-aligned electron heat flux in the solar wind at 1 AU is consistent with the Spitzer-Härm…
