Parker Solar Probe Observations of Magnetic Reconnection Exhausts in Quiescent Plasmas near the Sun

Parker Solar Probe observations are analyzed for the presence of reconnection exhausts across current sheets (CSs) within R < 0.26 au during encounters 4–11. Exhausts are observed with nearly equal probability at all radial distances with a preference for quiescent Tp < 0.80 MK plasmas typical...
