Differentiating EDRs from the Background Magnetopause Current Sheet: A Statistical Study
Jason M. H. Beedle, Daniel J. Gershman, Vadim M. Uritsky +2
The solar wind is a continuous outflow of charged particles from the Sun's atmosphere into the solar system. At Earth, the solar wind's outward pressure is balanced by the Earth's…
Magnetic Reconnection as the Driver of the Solar Wind
Nour E. Raouafi, G. Stenborg, D. B. Seaton +16
We present EUV solar observations showing evidence for omnipresent jetting activity driven by small-scale magnetic reconnection at the base of the solar corona. We argue that the p…
Interchange reconnection as the source of the fast solar wind within coronal holes
S. D. Bale, J. F. Drake, M. D. McManus +13
The fast solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from deep within regions of open magnetic field on the Sun called coronal holes. The energy source responsible for acceler…
Kinetic-scale current sheets in near-Sun solar wind: properties, scale-dependent features and reconnection onset
A. Lotekar, I. Y. Vasko, T. Phan +6
We present statistical analysis of 11,200 proton kinetic-scale current sheets (CS) observed by Parker Solar Probe during 10 days around the first perihelion. The CS thickness i…
PSP/ISIS Observation of a Solar Energetic Particle Event Associated With a Streamer Blowout Coronal Mass Ejection During Encounter 6
T. Getachew, D. J. McComas, C. J. Joyce +21
In this paper we examine a low-energy SEP event observed by ISIS's Energetic Particle Instrument-Low (EPI-Lo) inside 0.18 AU on September 30, 2020. This small SEP event has…
Suprathermal Ion Energy spectra and Anisotropies near the Heliospheric Current Sheet crossing observed by the Parker Solar Probe during Encounter 7
M. I. Desai, D. G. Mitchell, D. J. McComas +31
We present observations of >10-100 keV/nucleon suprathermal (ST) H, He, O, and Fe ions associated with crossings of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) at radial distances <0.1 au…
