Direct Measurement of Polar Coronal Hole-like Solar Wind in its Acceleration Phase

Samuel T. Badman, Yeimy J. Rivera, Michael L. Stevens +38

The early evolution of fast polar coronal hole (PCH) solar wind remains largely unconstrained by in situ measurements. In March 2025, Parker Solar Probe (Parker) at its closest app…

Energy Evolution from the Chromosphere to the Heliosphere in the 2021 October 28 Solar Eruption

Katharine K. Reeves, Daniel B. Seaton, Cynthia Cattell +20

We perform a detailed study of the energetics for a well-observed solar eruption and flare that occurred on 28 October 2021. This event included a GOES class X1.0 flare, a global E…

Strong Prevalence of Hammerhead Velocity Distributions Close to the Heliospheric Current Sheet

Srijan Bharati Das, Jaye L. Verniero, Samuel T. Badman +13

The solar wind undergoes non-adiabatic heating as it travels away from the Sun. The velocity phase space distribution of non-equilibrium ions in the solar wind indicate a source of…

Tracing a Multi-Temperature Quiescent Prominence's Thermodynamic Evolution from Sun to Earth

Callie A. García, Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman +5

Solar prominences are cool, dense stable structures routinely observed in the corona. Prominences are often ejected from the Sun via coronal mass ejections (CMEs). However, they ar…

Observation and modeling of a geo-effective event observed on 2011 May 28 from the solar surface to 1au

Nishu Karna, Tatiana Niembro

In this study, we present a comprehensive observational and modeling study of a geo-effective event with D_ST index of -80 nT observed on 2011 May 28 when a coronal hole was border…

Multi-spacecraft Measurements of the Evolving Geometry of the Solar Alfvén Surface Over Half a Solar Cycle

Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens, Stuart D. Bale +18

The geometry of a star's Alfvén surface determines stellar angular momentum loss, separates a causally distinct 'corona' and stellar wind, and potentially affects exoplanetary habi…

Helium Abundance Periods Observed by the Solar Probe Cup on Parker Solar Probe: Encounters 1-14

Madisen Johnson, Yeimy J. Rivera, Tatiana Niembro +7

Parker Solar Probe is a mission designed to explore properties of the solar wind closer than ever before. Detailed particle observations from the Solar Probe Cup (SPC) have primari…

Mixed Source Region Signatures Inside Magnetic Switchback Patches Inferred by Heavy Ion Diagnostics

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +13

Since Parker Solar Probe's (Parker's) first perihelion pass at the Sun, large amplitude Alfvén waves grouped in patches have been observed near the Sun throughout the mission. Seve…

In situ observations of large amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind

Yeimy J. Rivera, Samuel T. Badman, Michael L. Stevens +16

After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements fr…

The Closest View of a Fast Coronal Mass Ejection: How Faulty Assumptions near Perihelion Lead to Unrealistic Interpretations of PSP/WISPR Observations

Ritesh Patel, Matthew J. West, Daniel B. Seaton +3

We report on the closest view of a coronal mass ejection observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP)/Wide-field Imager for {Parker} Solar PRobe (WISPR) instrument on September 05, 202…

Direct First PSP Observation of the Interaction of Two Successive Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections in November 2020

Teresa Nieves-Chinchilla, Nathalia Alzate, Hebe Cremades +18

We investigate the effects of the evolutionary processes in the internal magnetic structure of two interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) detected in situ between 2020 Novem…

Interplanetary magnetic flux rope observed at ground level by HAWC

S. Akiyama, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +59

We report the ground-level detection of a Galactic Cosmic-Ray (GCR) flux enhancement lasting 17 hr and associated with the passage of a magnetic flux rope (MFR) over the Ear…

Space, time and velocity association of successive coronal mass ejections

Alejandro Lara. Nat Gopalswamy, Tatiana Niembro, Román Pérez-Enríquez +1

Our aim is to investigate the possible physical association between consecutive coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Through a statistical study of the main characteristics of 27761 CMEs…

Numerical simulations of ICME-ICME interactions

Tatiana Niembro, Alejandro Lara, Ricardo F. González +1

We present hydrodynamical simulations of interacting Coronal Mass Ejections in the Interplanetary medium (ICMEs). In these events, two consecutive CMEs are launched from the Sun in…
