On the Generation and Evolution of Switchbacks and the Morphology of the Alfvénic Transition: Low Mach-number Boundary Layers
We investigate the generation and evolution of switchbacks (SBs), the nature of the sub-Alfvénic wind observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP), and the morphology of the Alfvénic transition, all of which are key issues in solar wind research. First we highlight a special structure in the pristine so...
