Ion Kinetics of Plasma Interchange Reconnection in the Lower Solar Corona
The exploration of the inner heliosphere by the Parker Solar Probe has revealed a highly structured solar wind with ubiquitous deflections from the Parker spiral, known as switchbacks. Interchange reconnection (IR) may play an important role in generating these switchbacks, by forming unstable parti...
