Properties of Steady Sub-Alfvénic Solar Wind in Comparison with Super-Alfvénic Wind from Parker Solar Probe Measurements

We identify more than 10 steady sub-Alfvénic solar wind intervals from the measurements of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) from encounter 8 to encounter 14. An analysis of these sub-Alfvénic intervals reveals similar properties and similar origins. In situ measurements show that these intervals feature...
