On the 1/f spectrum in the solar wind and its connection with magnetic compressibility
Lorenzo Matteini, David Stansby, Timothy Horbury +1
We discuss properties of Alfvénic fluctuations with large amplitude in plasmas characterised by low magnetic field compression. We note that in such systems power laws can not deve…
On slow solar wind with high Alfvénicity: from composition and microphysics to spectral properties
Raffaella D'Amicis, Lorenzo Matteini, Roberto Bruno
Alfvénic fluctuations are very common features in the solar wind and are found especially within the main portion of fast wind streams while the slow wind usually is less Alfvénic…
Alpha particle thermodynamics in the inner heliosphere fast solar wind
D. Stansby, D. Perrone, L. Matteini +2
Plasma processes occurring in the corona and solar wind can be probed by studying the thermodynamic properties of different ion species. However, most in-situ observations of posit…
A local approach to the study of energy transfers in incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Denis Kuzzay, Olga Alexandrova, Lorenzo Matteini
We present a local approach to the study of scale-to-scale energy transfers in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This approach is based on performing local averages of the phys…
Diagnosing solar wind origins using in-situ measurements in the inner heliosphere
D. Stansby, T. S. Horbury, L. Matteini
Robustly identifying the solar sources of individual packets of solar wind measured in interplanetary space remains an open problem. We set out to see if this problem is easier to…
Radial evolution of the solar wind in pure high-speed streams: HELIOS revised observations
D. Perrone, D. Stansby, T. Horbury +1
Spacecraft observations have shown that the proton temperature in the solar wind falls off with radial distance more slowly than expected for an adiabatic prediction. Usually, prev…
