The Alpha-proton Differential Flow in the Alfvénic Young Solar Wind: from Sub-Alfvénic to Super-Alfvénic
Data obtained from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) since 2021 April have shown the first in situ observation of the solar corona, where the solar wind is formed and accelerated. Here, we investigate the alpha-proton differential flow and its characteristics across the critical Alfvén surface (CAS) using da...
