Proton Temperature Anisotropy Variations in Inner Heliosphere Estimated with First Parker Solar Probe Observations

Jia Huang, Justin C. Kasper, Daniel Vech +27

We report proton temperature anisotropy variations in the inner heliosphere with Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations. Using a linear fitting method, we derive proton temperature…

In situ measurements of the variable slow solar wind near sector boundaries

E. Sanchez-Diaz, A. Rouillard, B. Lavraud +2

The release of density structures at the tip of the coronal helmet streamers, likely as a consequence of magnetic reconnection, contributes to the mass flux of the slow solar wind.…

Challenges and the next transformative steps in understanding plasma turbulence from the perspective of multi-spacecraft measurements

Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho, Jay A. Bookbinder +18

We have become heavily reliant on electrical technologies, from power grids to GPS to wireless communication. Any disruption of these systems will have severe global consequences.…

A Case for Electron-Astrophysics

Daniel Verscharen, Robert T. Wicks, Olga Alexandrova +27

A grand-challenge problem at the forefront of physics is to understand how energy is transported and transformed in plasmas. This fundamental research priority encapsulates the con…

On the deviation from Maxwellian of the ion velocity distribution functions in the turbulent magnetosheath

Silvia Perri, D. Perrone, E. Yordanova +20

The degree of deviation from the thermodynamic equilibrium in the ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs), measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the Earth's…

Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Transition Region of Quasi-Parallel Shocks

I. Gingell, S. J. Schwartz, J. P. Eastwood +15

Using observations of Earth's bow shock by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we show for the first time that active magnetic reconnection is occurring at current sheets embedd…
