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…

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…
