Estimates of Proton and Electron Heating Rates Extended to the Near-Sun Environment
R. Bandyopadhyay, C. M. Meyer, W. H. Matthaeus +11
A central problem of space plasma physics is how protons and electrons are heated in a turbulent, magnetized plasma. The differential heating of charged species due to dissipation…
The Effects of Non-Equilibrium Velocity Distributions on Alfvén Ion-Cyclotron Waves in the Solar Wind
Jada Walters, Kristopher G. Klein, Emily Lichko +3
In this work, we investigate how the complex structure found in solar wind proton velocity distribution functions (VDFs), rather than the commonly assumed two-component bi-Maxwelli…
Observations and Modeling of Unstable Proton and Alpha Particle Velocity Distributions in Sub-Alfvenic Solar Wind at PSP Perihelia
Leon Ofman, Scott A Boardsen, Lan K Jian +7
Past observations show that solar wind (SW) acceleration occurs inside the sub-Alfvenic region, reaching the local Alfven speed at typical distances ~ 10 - 20 Rs (solar radii). Rec…
