Energy transfer of the solar wind turbulence based on Parker solar probe and other spacecraft observations
He, Jiansen; Wang, Xin; Tu, Chuanyi +2 more
The supersonic solar wind, first predicted by Parker and then observed by Mariners, extends to form a heliosphere around the Sun. The energy supply from the energy containing range, the energy cascade though the inertial range, and the eventual energy dissipation are three basic processes of the energy transfer in the solar wind and have been stud…
The electric fields and "lightning jets" of the Sun and solar wind
Driscoll, C. F.
A model of electric energization of the solar wind and corona is developed, including electro-magnetic particle effects precluded by traditional magneto-hydro (MHD) assumptions. Using standard 1D radial solar models for particle density and temperature, the core gravito-electric field is calculated; and the range of possible photospheric photo-ele…
Kinetic study of ion acoustic waves in Venusian ionosphere
Lakhina, G. S.; Kamalam, T.; Singh, S. V. +1 more
Kinetic dispersion of the ion acoustic waves has been explored for an unmagnetized five component plasma system comprising of Venusian protons, Venusian oxygen ions, Venusian electrons, solar wind protons, and kappa electrons. The solar wind protons and electrons are assumed to be streaming along the ambient magnetic field. The plasma parameters f…
