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…
A Majority of Solar Wind Intervals Support Ion-Driven Instabilities
K. G. Klein, B. A. Alterman, M. L. Stevens +2
We perform a statistical assessment of solar wind stability at 1 AU against ion sources of free energy using Nyquist's instability criterion. In contrast to typically employed thre…
Magnetic Reconnection May Control the Ion-Scale Spectral Break of Solar Wind Turbulence
Daniel Vech, Alfred Mallet, Kristopher G. Klein +1
The power spectral density of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind exhibits several power-law-like frequency ranges with a well defined break between approximately 0.1 and 1 Hz…
