On the origin of the dominant waves in the extended solar corona
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Orlando Romeo +2
The extended solar corona at 10-30 solar radii is essentially devoid of all waves below 100 kHz other than triggered ion acoustic waves (TIAW), which consist of a low frequency ele…
Electric field measurements made in space
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov
The operating principles of a DC and low frequency electric field detector are developed, after which, examples of earlier important electric field measurements are presented, incl…
Electric fields and waves in the Venus nightside magnetosphere
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Stuart Bale +4
On November 6, 2024, the Parker Solar Probe flew past Venus to make the first accurate electric field measurement in the nightside Venusian magnetosphere. To achieve this result, t…
Intermingled open and closed magnetic field lines near the radial origin of the heliospheric current sheet
Forrest Mozer, Andrii Voshchepynets, Oleksiy Agapitov +2
Aims. To investigate the magnetic field geometry and waves in the region near the Sun where the heliospheric current sheet is formed. Methods. One good example of apparent open and…
Parallel Electric Fields And Electron Heating Observed In The Young Solar Wind
Forrest Mozer, Oleksiy Agapitov, Kyung-Eu Choi +1
The largest electric fields between 18 and 30 solar radii are in narrow band waves simultaneously observed at a few Hz (somewhat above the local proton gyrofrequency) and a few hun…
