A novel machine learning technique to identify and categorize plasma waves in spacecraft measurements

Daniel Vech, David M. Malaspina

The available magnetic field data from the terrestrial magnetosphere, solar wind and planetary magnetospheres exceeds over hours. Identifying plasma waves in these large dat…

A powerful machine learning technique to extract proton core, beam and alpha-particle parameters from velocity distribution functions in space plasmas

Daniel Vech, Michael L. Stevens, Kristoff W. Paulson +4

Context: The analysis of the thermal part of velocity distribution functions (VDF) is fundamentally important for understanding the kinetic physics that governs the evolution and d…

Kinetic Scale Spectral Features of Cross Helicity and Residual Energy in the Inner Heliosphere

Daniel Vech, Justin C. Kasper, Kristopher G. Klein +17

In this Paper, we present the first results from the Flux Angle operation mode of the Faraday Cup instrument onboard Parker Solar Probe. The Flux Angle mode allows rapid measuremen…

Measures of Scale Dependent Alfvénicity in the First PSP Solar Encounter

T. N. Parashar, M. L. Goldstein, B. A. Maruca +25

The solar wind shows periods of highly Alfvénic activity, where velocity fluctuations and magnetic fluctuations are aligned or anti-aligned with each other. It is generally agreed…

Proton Temperature Anisotropy Variations in Inner Heliosphere Estimated with First Parker Solar Probe Observations

Jia Huang, Justin C. Kasper, Daniel Vech +27

We report proton temperature anisotropy variations in the inner heliosphere with Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations. Using a linear fitting method, we derive proton temperature…

Large-scale Control of Kinetic Dissipation in the Solar Wind

Daniel Vech, Kristopher G. Klein, Justin C. Kasper

In this Letter we study the connection between the large-scale dynamics of the turbulence cascade and particle heating on kinetic scales. We find that the inertial range turbulence…
