Local Proton Heating at Magnetic Discontinuities in Alfvénic and Non-Alfvénic Solar Wind

Local Proton Heating at Magnetic Discontinuities in Alfvénic and Non-Alfvénic Solar Wind

We investigate the local proton energization at magnetic discontinuities/intermittent structures and the corresponding kinetic signatures in velocity phase space in Alfvénic (high cross helicity) and non-Alfvénic (low cross helicity) wind streams observed by Parker Solar Probe. By means of the parti...
