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…

Switchbacks as signatures of magnetic flux ropes generated by interchange reconnection in the corona
J. F. Drake, O. Agapitov, M. Swisdak +10
The structure of magnetic flux ropes injected into the solar wind during reconnection in the coronal atmosphere is explored with particle-in-cell simulations and compared with in s…

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…
