Spectroscopic and Imaging Observations of Spatially Extended Magnetic Reconnection in the Splitting of a Solar Filament Structure
Huidong Hu, Ying D. Liu, Lakshmi Pradeep Chitta +2
On the Sun, Doppler shifts of bidirectional outflows from the magnetic-reconnection site have been found only in confined regions through spectroscopic observations. Without spatia…
Analysis of the distribution, rotation and scale characteristics of solar wind switchbacks: comparison between the first and second encounters of Parker Solar Probe
Mingming Meng, Ying D. Liu, Chong Chen +1
The S-shaped magnetic structure in the solar wind formed by the twisting of magnetic field lines is called a switchback, whose main characteristics are the reversal of the magnetic…
MMS direct observations of kinetic-scale shock self-reformation
Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, Andreas Johlander +6
Studies of shocks have long suggested that a shock can undergo cyclically self-reformation in a time scale of ion cyclotron period. This process has been proposed as a primary mech…
Determination of Solar Wind Angular Momentum and Alfvén Radius from Parker Solar Probe Observations
Ying D. Liu, Chong Chen, Michael L. Stevens +1
As fundamental parameters of the Sun, the Alfvén radius and angular momentum loss determine how the solar wind changes from sub-Alfvénic to super-Alfvénic and how the Sun spins dow…
PIC simulations of microinstabilities and waves at near-Sun solar wind perpendicular shocks: Predictions for Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter
Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, Shuichi Matsukiyo +6
Microinstabilities and waves excited at moderate-Mach-number perpendicular shocks in the near-Sun solar wind are investigated by full particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. By analyzi…
Characteristics and Importance of "ICME-in-Sheath" Phenomenon and Upper Limit for Geomagnetic Storm Activity
Ying D. Liu, Chong Chen, Xiaowei Zhao
As an important source for large geomagnetic storms, an "ICME-in-sheath" is a completely shocked interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) stuck in the sheath between a shock and…
