Properties of Magnetic Switchbacks in the Near-Sun Solar Wind

Samuel T. Badman, Naïs Fargette, Lorenzo Matteini +24

Magnetic switchbacks are fluctuations in the solar wind in which the interplanetary magnetic field sharply deflects away from its background direction so as to create folds in magn…

Surface Waves at Switchback Boundaries in the Young Solar Wind from Parker Solar Probe Observations

Kyung-Eun Choi, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Nina Bizien +2

Switchbacks (SBs) are localized magnetic field deflections in the solar wind, marked by abrupt changes in the magnetic field direction relative to the ambient solar wind. Observati…
