Constraints on the Alfvénicity of Switchbacks
Switchbacks (SBs) are localized structures in the solar wind containing deflections of the magnetic field direction relative to the background solar wind magnetic field. The amplitudes of the magnetic field deflection angles ( θ ) for different SBs vary from ∼40° to ∼160°–170°. Alignment of the pert...
