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…

Data Fusion of Total Solar Irradiance Composite Time Series Using 41 Years of Satellite Measurements

Jean-Philippe Montillet, Wolfgang Finsterle, Gael Kermarrec +4

Since the late 1970s, successive satellite missions have been monitoring the sun's activity and recording the total solar irradiance (TSI). Some of these measurements have lasted f…

Exploring the Solar Wind from its Source on the Corona into the Inner Heliosphere during the First Solar Orbiter - Parker Solar Probe Quadrature

Daniele Telloni, Vincenzo Andretta, Ester Antonucci +68

This Letter addresses the first Solar Orbiter (SO) -- Parker Solar Probe (PSP) quadrature, occurring on January 18, 2021, to investigate the evolution of solar wind from the extend…

Characteristic scales of magnetic switchback patches near the Sun and their possible association with solar supergranulation and granulation

Naïs Fargette, Benoit Lavraud, Alexis Rouillard +16

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data recorded within a heliocentric radial distance of 0.3 AU have revealed a magnetic field dominated by Alfvénic structures that undergo large local vari…

Correlation of the sunspot number and the waiting time distribution of solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and solar wind switchback events observed with the Parker Solar Probe

Markus J. Aschwanden, Thierry Dudok de Wit

Waiting time distributions of solar flares and {\sl coronal mass ejections (CMEs)} exhibit power law-like distribution functions with slopes in the range of ,…

Detection of small magnetic flux ropes from the third and fourth Parker Solar Probe encounters

L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, Q. Hu +22

We systematically search for magnetic flux rope structures in the solar wind to within the closest distance to the Sun of 0.13 AU, using data from the third and fourth orbits of th…

Coronal Electron Temperature inferred from the Strahl Electrons in the Inner Heliosphere: Parker Solar Probe and Helios observations

Laura Bercic, Davin Larson, Phyllis Whittlesey +17

The shape of the electron velocity distribution function plays an important role in the dynamics of the solar wind acceleration. Electrons are normally modelled with three componen…

Seed Population Pre-Conditioning and Acceleration Observed by Parker Solar Probe

N. A. Schwadron, S. Bale, J. Bonnell +42

A series of solar energetic particle (SEP) events were observed at Parker Solar Probe (PSP) by the Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (\ISOIS) during the period from April…

Switchbacks in the near-Sun magnetic field: long memory and impact on the turbulence cascade

Thierry Dudok de Wit, Vladimir V. Krasnoselskikh, Stuart D. Bale +14

One of the most striking observations made by Parker Solar Probe during its first solar encounter is the omnipresence of rapid polarity reversals in a magnetic field that is otherw…

The Enhancement of Proton Stochastic Heating in the near-Sun Solar Wind

Mihailo M. Martinović, Kristopher G. Klein, Justin C. Kasper +18

Stochastic heating is a non-linear heating mechanism driven by the violation of magnetic moment invariance due to large-amplitude turbulent fluctuations producing diffusion of ions…

Magnetic connectivity of the ecliptic plane within 0.5 AU : PFSS modeling of the first PSP encounter

Samuel T. Badman, Stuart D. Bale, Juan C. Martinez Oliveros +19

We compare magnetic field measurements taken by the FIELDS instrument on Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its first solar encounter to predictions obtained by Potential Field Source…

Methodology to create a new Total Solar Irradiance record: Making a composite out of multiple data records

Thierry Dudok de Wit, Greg Kopp, Claus Fröhlich +1

Many observational records critically rely on our ability to merge different (and not necessarily overlapping) observations into a single composite. We provide a novel and fully-tr…

Uncertainties in the Sunspot Numbers: Estimation and Implications

Thierry Dudok de Wit, Laure Lefèvre, Frédéric Clette

Sunspot number series are subject to various uncertainties, which are still poorly known. The need for their better understanding was recently highlighted by the major makeover of…
