Density Enhancement Streams in The Solar Wind

This Letter describes a new phenomenon on the Parker Solar Probe of recurring plasma density enhancements that have Δ n/n ∼ 10% and that occur at a repetition rate of ∼5 Hz. They were observed sporadically for about 5 hr between 14 and 15 solar radii on Parker Solar Probe orbit 12 and they were also...
