Parker Solar Probe: Four Years of Discoveries at Solar Cycle Minimum

N. E. Raouafi et al.

Summary: Launched in 2018, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has completed 13 orbits around the Sun by November 2022, exceeding expectations in terms of data quantity and quality. The mission aims to study the Sun's coronal magnetic field, solar corona and wind heating and acceleration, and energetic particle acceleration processes. The probe has contributed to numerous discoveries, resulting in nearly 700 peer-reviewed publications.

Whistler waves generated inside magnetic dips in the young solar wind: Observations of the search-coil magnetometer on board Parker Solar Probe

C. Froment et al.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the parameters of whistler waves in the young solar wind using the Parker Solar Probe (PSP). The results show that most of the detected wave packets in the cross-spectra are quasi-parallel to the background magnetic field, but a significant portion of the waves have oblique wave normal angles. It is concluded that magnetic dips provide favorable conditions for the generation of whistler waves.

Whistler Wave Observations by Parker Solar Probe During Encounter 1: Counter-propagating Whistlers Collocated with Magnetic Field Inhomogeneities and their Application to Electric Field Measurement Calibration

S. Karbashewski et al.

Summary: Observations by the Parker Solar Probe reveal intense plasma wave bursts in the young solar wind, often accompanied by inhomogeneities in the magnetic field. These waves, identified as electromagnetic whistler waves, propagate in different directions and experience significant Doppler frequency shifts. They have peak amplitudes exceeding 2 nT and represent up to 10% of the background magnetic field. We evaluate their properties, estimate the length of PSP electric field antennas at whistler frequencies, and discuss their generation mechanism.

Flux Rope Merging and the Structure of Switchbacks in the Solar Wind

V Agapitov et al.

Summary: A major discovery of Parker Solar Probe is the presence of localized increases in solar wind speed and associated deflections of the magnetic field. This phenomenon is believed to be caused by magnetic reconnection and flux rope ejection. The study examines the role of flux rope merging in controlling the structure of these deflections through observations, analysis, and simulations. The results reveal the importance of merging in reducing the wrapping magnetic field and elongating the deflections. The findings are consistent with recent statistical analysis from PSP.

Parker Solar Probe Evidence for the Absence of Whistlers Close to the Sun to Scatter Strahl and to Regulate Heat Flux

C. Cattell et al.

Summary: In this study, statistical properties of narrowband whistlers were analyzed using data from the Parker Solar Probe, and compared with electron properties. The results showed that whistlers are rarely observed near the Sun and occur within a specific range of electron beta. Additionally, the lack of narrowband whistlers has significant implications for understanding the evolution of flare-accelerated electrons and the regulation of heat flux.

Whistler wave occurrence and the interaction with strahl electrons during the first encounter of Parker Solar Probe

V. K. Jagarlamudi et al.

Summary: The study reveals that narrowband whistler waves have a low occurrence rate during the first encounter of Parker Solar Probe, with most waves lasting less than 3 seconds and showing an anticorrelation with the solar wind velocity. Additionally, the study indicates that the presence of whistler waves leads to broadening of pitch-angle widths of strahl electrons and suggests an interaction resulting in pitch-angle scattering.

Whistler waves observed by Solar Orbiter/RPW between 0.5 AU and 1 AU

M. Kretzschmar et al.

Summary: The study aims to detect and characterize electromagnetic waves that can modify the electron distribution functions, with a focus on whistler waves. Through analysis of field fluctuations observed by Solar Orbiter spacecraft, it was found that a majority of waves are right-handed circularly polarized quasi-parallel whistler waves, with their occurrence rate doubling from 1 AU to 0.5 AU. These results are consistent with the regulation of heat flux by whistler heat flux instability.

Parker Solar Probe Evidence for Scattering of Electrons in the Young Solar Wind by Narrowband Whistler-mode Waves

C. Cattell et al.

Summary: Observations from the Parker Solar Probe show that narrowband whistler-mode waves can scatter strahl-energy electrons, resulting in characteristic electron distribution patterns with energy-dependent scattering mechanisms. This provides strong evidence for the interaction between electrons and whistler-mode waves, influencing the electron heat flux and producing halo distributions.

Summary: The study investigates the role of solar wind expansion in generating whistler waves, showing that expansion triggers whistler heat flux instabilities and affects electron distributions and temperature through wave-particle interaction processes. The research also provides a theoretical basis for explaining observations of different types of whistler waves in the solar wind.

Modeling Interactions of Narrowband Large Amplitude Whistler-mode Waves with Electrons in the Solar Wind inside ∼0.3 au and at 1 au Using a Particle Tracing Code

Cynthia Cattell et al.

Summary: The study reveals the existence of large amplitude narrowband whistler-mode waves at frequencies of a tenth of the electron cyclotron frequency at 0.3 AU and 1 AU, providing insights into the rapid nonlinear interactions between these waves and solar wind electrons. By simulating interactions between electrons and whistler-mode waves of different amplitudes and propagation angles, it is shown that these waves play a key role in the rapid scattering and energization of electrons.
