Switchbacks and Associated Magnetic Holes Observed near the Alfvén Critical Surface

During recent solar encounters, the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) began its initial dips below the Alfvén critical surface to measure in situ the sub-Alfvénic coronal wind. While the near-Sun super-Alfvénic solar wind is shown to be dominated by impulsive magnetic switchbacks (short magnetic field revers...
