Turbulence in the Sub-Alfvenic Solar Wind

G. P. Zank et al.

Summary: This article presents the first detailed analysis of low-frequency turbulence properties in a sub-Alfvenic solar wind region encountered by the Parker Solar Probe. The analysis reveals the existence of primarily Alfvenic fluctuations and provides insights into the spectra of different variables and interactions in this region.

The incompressible energy cascade rate in anisotropic solar wind turbulence

N. Andres et al.

Summary: This study investigates the isotropy and anisotropy energy cascade rates in solar wind turbulence using more than two years of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations. The results show a dominance of perpendicular cascades over parallel cascades, and a dominant 2D cascade and/or geometry over the slab component in the largest MHD scales.

Kinetic-scale Current Sheets in Near-Sun Solar Wind: Properties, Scale-dependent Features and Reconnection Onset

A. B. Lotekar et al.

Summary: This study presents statistical analysis of proton kinetic-scale current sheets observed by the Parker Solar Probe. The analysis reveals the range and typical values for the thickness and current density of these current sheets, as well as their asymmetry and relationship with scale and magnetic shear angles. The findings suggest that these proton kinetic-scale current sheets are produced by turbulence cascade and are not suppressed by the diamagnetic mechanism.

Intermittency in the Expanding Solar Wind: Observations from Parker Solar Probe (0.16 au), Helios 1 (0.3-1 au), and Voyager 1 (1-10 au)

Manuel Enrique Cuesta et al.

Summary: This article examines the evolution of intermittency from near-Sun plasma to radial distances as large as 10 au. Statistical analysis of magnetic-field vector components reveals that regions with lower Reynolds numbers have lower kurtosis, indicating less intermittent behavior. Additionally, the refined similarity hypothesis is applied to calculate intermittency parameters and fractal scaling in the inertial range.

Tracking of magnetic helicity evolution in the inner heliosphere A radial alignment study

T. Alberti et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the evolution of magnetic helicity in the inner heliosphere, revealing the mechanism behind turbulence in space and astrophysical plasmas. It shows that solar wind develops into turbulence by transporting large-scale helicity components and creating/annihilating helical wave components. The observation of high helicity component, damping of helicity oscillation, and nonhelical component in the frequency spectrum support this conclusion. The helicity evolution reaches an asymptotic state at the Venus orbit and beyond.

MHD Turbulent Power Anisotropy in the Inner Heliosphere

L. Adhikari et al.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the slow solar wind observed by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SolO). We analyzed the variance anisotropy and correlation anisotropy using two different methods and compared the theoretical results with the observations, finding good agreement.

Parker Solar Probe Enters the Magnetically Dominated Solar Corona

J. C. Kasper et al.

Summary: The high temperatures and strong magnetic fields of the solar corona form streams of solar wind that expand through the Solar System, with magnetic pressure dominating both ion and electron pressure. The sub-Alfvenic nature of the flow suggests suppressed magnetic reconnection at the base of the pseudostreamer, as evidenced by unusually low densities in the region.

Self-Organization through the Inner Heliosphere: Insights from Parker Solar Probe

Mirko Stumpo et al.

Summary: The variability of the interplanetary medium has been extensively studied, revealing a wide variety of dynamical features. Recent measurements from the Parker Solar Probe have shown a clear transition in solar wind magnetic field fluctuations near 0.4 AU, indicating evidence of a dynamical phase transition. By using the Klimontovich S-theorem, researchers can investigate the process of self-organization in the inner heliosphere and measure the evolution of entropic-based measures to further characterize this dynamical phase transition.

Subproton-scale Intermittency in Near-Sun Solar Wind Turbulence Observed by the Parker Solar Probe

Rohit Chhiber et al.

Summary: This study used high time-resolution solar wind magnetic field data from the Parker Solar Probe mission to analyze intermittency statistics near the first perihelion. The results revealed multifractal scaling in the inertial range, and monofractal but non-Gaussian scaling in the subproton range, with the transition to monofractality attributed to the presence of scale-invariant current sheets between ion and electron inertial scales. The study also ruled out incoherent kinetic-scale wave activity as a factor in the transition.

Evolution of Solar Wind Turbulence from 0.1 to 1 au during the First Parker Solar Probe-Solar Orbiter Radial Alignment

Daniele Telloni et al.

Summary: The first radial alignment between Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter spacecraft is utilized to study the evolution of solar wind turbulence from near the Sun to 1 au. The plasma transitions from a highly Alfvenic, less-developed turbulence state near the Sun to fully developed and intermittent turbulence at 1 au, providing strong evidence for the radial evolution of solar wind turbulence.

G. P. Zank et al.

Summary: The primary goal of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission is to answer how solar corona plasma is heated to produce the solar wind. Two turbulence models have been proposed, each discussing the heating mechanism of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the corona.
