Regulation of Proton–α Differential Flow by Compressive Fluctuations and Ion-scale Instabilities in the Solar Wind
Large-scale compressive slow-mode-like fluctuations can cause variations in the density, temperature, and magnetic-field magnitude in the solar wind. In addition, they also lead to fluctuations in the differential flow U _p _α between α -particles and protons (p), which is a common source of free en...
