Turbulent accumulation of interplanetary magnetic fluxes at the Venus ionopause

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 1981
The accumulation of interplanetary magnetic fluxes around the Venus ionopause is examined in the light of the PVO magnetometer and plasma wave measurements. It is argued that convective electric currents within the ionosphere are not sufficient to account for the observed geometry of the magnetic profiles. It is suggested that turbulent flow conditions

Two Pathways of Turbulent Energy Processing in Solar Wind Current Sheets: Confined Fragmentation versus Organized Transport

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Understanding how turbulent energy is dissipated in the heliosphere remains a central challenge in space plasma physics. While magnetic reconnection and other dissipative processes occurring within current sheets are widely regarded as leading channels ...

Solar cycle evolution of ICME sheath regions at 1 AU

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. We investigate the evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) sheath regions at 1 AU across solar cycles 23, 24, and the rising phase of 25, focusing on their variability and turbulence in relation to upstream solar wind conditions ...

Evolution of Solar Wind Turbulence during Radial Alignment of Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter in 2022 December

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We investigate the radial evolution of solar wind turbulence during the radial alignment of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SO) on 2022 December 10, with PSP located at approximately 0.11 au and SO near 0.88 au.

Local Proton Heating at Magnetic Discontinuities in Alfvénic and Non-Alfvénic Solar Wind

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the local proton energization at magnetic discontinuities/intermittent structures and the corresponding kinetic signatures in velocity phase space in Alfvénic (high cross helicity) and non-Alfvénic (low cross helicity) wind streams ...
