Electron Influence on the Parallel Proton Firehose Instability in 10-Moment, Multi-Fluid Simulations

Jada Walters, Kristopher G. Klein, Emily Lichko +2

Instabilities driven by pressure anisotropy play a critical role in modulating the energy transfer in space and astrophysical plasmas. For the first time, we simulate the evolution…

The Effects of Non-Equilibrium Velocity Distributions on Alfvén Ion-Cyclotron Waves in the Solar Wind

Jada Walters, Kristopher G. Klein, Emily Lichko +3

In this work, we investigate how the complex structure found in solar wind proton velocity distribution functions (VDFs), rather than the commonly assumed two-component bi-Maxwelli…

Strong perpendicular velocity-space in proton beams observed by Parker Solar Probe

J. L. Verniero, B. D. G. Chandran, D. E. Larson +16

The SWEAP instrument suite on Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has detected numerous proton beams associated with coherent, circularly polarized, ion-scale waves observed by PSP's FIELDS i…

Multiscale Solar Wind Turbulence Properties inside and near Switchbacks measured by Parker Solar Probe

Mihailo M. Martinović, Kristopher G. Klein, Jia Huang +9

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) routinely observes magnetic field deflections in the solar wind at distances less than 0.3 au from the Sun. These deflections are related to structures com…

Inferred Linear Stability of Parker Solar Probe Observations using One- and Two-Component Proton Distributions

K. G. Klein, J. L. Verniero, B. Alterman +12

The hot and diffuse nature of the Sun's extended atmosphere allows it to persist in non-equilibrium states for long enough that wave-particle instabilities can arise and modify the…
