Stability of the magnetotail current sheet with normal magnetic field and field-aligned plasma flows

Chen Shi, Anton Artemyev, Marco Velli +1

One of the most important problems of magnetotail dynamics is the substorm onset and the related instability of the magneotail current sheet. Since the simplest 2D current sheet co…

Evolution of switchbacks in the inner Heliosphere

Anna Tenerani, Nikos Sioulas, Lorenzo Matteini +3

We analyze magnetic field data from the first six encounters of PSP, three Helios fast streams and two Ulysses south polar passes covering heliocentric distances $0.1\lesssim R\les…

On the role of solar wind expansion as a source of whistler waves: scattering of suprathermal electrons and heat flux regulation in the inner heliosphere

A. Micera, A. N. Zhukov, R. A. López +5

The role of solar wind expansion in generating whistler waves is investigated using the EB-iPic3D code, which models solar wind expansion self-consistently within a fully kinetic s…

Proton energization by phase-steepening of parallel propagating Alfvénic fluctuations

C. A. González, A. Tenerani, L. Matteini +2

Proton energization at magnetic discontinuities generated by phase-steepened fronts of parallel propagating, large-amplitude Alfvénic fluctuation is studied using hybrid simulation…

Alfvénic versus non-Alfvénic turbulence in the inner heliosphere as observed by Parker Solar Probe

Chen Shi, Marco Velli, Olga Panasenco +20

We make use of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) data to explore the nature of solar wind turbulence focusing on the Alfvénic character and power spectra of the fluctuations and their d…
