Nonlinear Interactions in Spherically Polarized Alfvénic Turbulence
Trevor A. Bowen, Samuel T. Badman, Stuart D. Bale +8
Turbulent magnetic field fluctuations observed in the solar wind often maintain a constant magnitude condition accompanied by spherically polarized velocity fluctuations; these sig…
Strong perpendicular velocity-space in proton beams observed by Parker Solar Probe
J. L. Verniero, B. D. G. Chandran, D. E. Larson +16
The SWEAP instrument suite on Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has detected numerous proton beams associated with coherent, circularly polarized, ion-scale waves observed by PSP's FIELDS i…
Ion-Driven Instabilities in the Inner Heliosphere I: Statistical Trends
Mihailo M. Martinovic, Kristopher G. Klein, Tereza Durovcova +1
Instabilities described by linear theory characterize an important form of wave-particle interaction in the solar wind. We diagnose unstable behavior of solar wind plasma between 0…
Magnetic Field Reconstruction for a Realistic Multi-Point, Multi-Scale Spacecraft Observatory
Theodore Broeren, Kristopher Klein, Jason TenBarge +3
Future in situ space plasma investigations will likely involve spatially distributed observatories comprised of multiple spacecraft, beyond the four and five spacecraft configurati…
A powerful machine learning technique to extract proton core, beam and alpha-particle parameters from velocity distribution functions in space plasmas
Daniel Vech, Michael L. Stevens, Kristoff W. Paulson +4
Context: The analysis of the thermal part of velocity distribution functions (VDF) is fundamentally important for understanding the kinetic physics that governs the evolution and d…
How Alfvén waves energize the solar wind: heat vs work
Jean C. Perez, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Kristopher G. Klein +1
A growing body of evidence suggests that the solar wind is powered to a large extent by an Alfvén-wave (AW) energy flux. AWs energize the solar wind via two mechanisms: heating and…
Multiscale Solar Wind Turbulence Properties inside and near Switchbacks measured by Parker Solar Probe
Mihailo M. Martinović, Kristopher G. Klein, Jia Huang +9
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) routinely observes magnetic field deflections in the solar wind at distances less than 0.3 au from the Sun. These deflections are related to structures com…
Inferred Linear Stability of Parker Solar Probe Observations using One- and Two-Component Proton Distributions
K. G. Klein, J. L. Verniero, B. Alterman +12
The hot and diffuse nature of the Sun's extended atmosphere allows it to persist in non-equilibrium states for long enough that wave-particle instabilities can arise and modify the…
The Near-Sun Streamer Belt Solar Wind: Turbulence and Solar Wind Acceleration
C. H. K. Chen, B. D. G. Chandran, L. D. Woodham +8
The fourth orbit of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) reached heliocentric distances down to 27.9 Rs, allowing solar wind turbulence and acceleration mechanisms to be studied in situ closer…
