Strong Prevalence of Hammerhead Velocity Distributions Close to the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Srijan Bharati Das, Jaye L. Verniero, Samuel T. Badman +13
The solar wind undergoes non-adiabatic heating as it travels away from the Sun. The velocity phase space distribution of non-equilibrium ions in the solar wind indicate a source of…
Solar Wind Heating Near the Sun: A Radial Evolution Approach
Yogesh, Leon Ofman, Kristopher Klein +19
Characterizing the plasma state in the near-Sun environment is essential to constrain the mechanisms that heat and accelerate the solar wind. In this study, we use Parker Solar Pro…
Conversion Layer Controls the Evolution of Magnetic Deflections Near the Alfven Surface
Dominic Payne, Mojtaba Akhavan-Tafti, Joshua Goodwill +10
We examine the statistics of Alfvenic deflections in both sub-Alfvenic and super-Alfvenic solar wind with particular focus on a common parameter that underlies the definition of sw…
Tracing a Multi-Temperature Quiescent Prominence's Thermodynamic Evolution from Sun to Earth
Callie A. García, Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman +5
Solar prominences are cool, dense stable structures routinely observed in the corona. Prominences are often ejected from the Sun via coronal mass ejections (CMEs). However, they ar…
Evidence of Interaction between Ion-Scale Waves and Ion Velocity Distributions in the Solar Wind
Yogesh, Leon Ofman, Scott A Boardsen +9
Recent in situ observations from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) near perihelia reveal ion beams, temperature anisotropies, and kinetic wave activity. These features are likely linked to…
Helium Abundance Periods Observed by the Solar Probe Cup on Parker Solar Probe: Encounters 1-14
Madisen Johnson, Yeimy J. Rivera, Tatiana Niembro +7
Parker Solar Probe is a mission designed to explore properties of the solar wind closer than ever before. Detailed particle observations from the Solar Probe Cup (SPC) have primari…
Mixed Source Region Signatures Inside Magnetic Switchback Patches Inferred by Heavy Ion Diagnostics
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +13
Since Parker Solar Probe's (Parker's) first perihelion pass at the Sun, large amplitude Alfvén waves grouped in patches have been observed near the Sun throughout the mission. Seve…
In situ observations of large amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind
Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +16
After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements fr…
Near subsonic solar wind outflow from an active region
Tamar Ervin, Stuart D. Bale, Samuel T. Badman +10
During Parker Solar Probe (Parker) Encounter 15 (E15), we observe an 18-hour period of near subsonic ( 1) and sub-Alfvénic (SA), <<< 1, slow speed…
New Observations of Solar Wind 1/f Turbulence Spectrum from Parker Solar Probe
Zesen Huang, Nikos Sioulas, Chen Shi +22
The trace magnetic power spectrum in the solar wind is known to be characterized by a double power law at scales much larger than the proton gyro-radius, with flatter spectral expo…
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…
Parker Solar Probe In-Situ Observations of Magnetic Reconnection Exhausts During Encounter 1
T. D. Phan, S. D. Bale, J. P. Eastwood +23
Magnetic reconnection in current sheets converts magnetic energy into particle energy. The process may play an important role in the acceleration and heating of the solar wind clos…
