Parker solar probe: Four years of discoveries at solar cycle minimum
Abstract Launched on 12 Aug. 2018, NASA's Parker Solar Probe had completed 13 of its
scheduled 24 orbits around the Sun by Nov. 2022. The mission's primary science goal is to …

In situ observations of large-amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind
After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more
slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. Alfvén waves are perturbations of …

The impact of multifluid effects in the solar chromosphere on the ponderomotive force under SE and NEQ ionization conditions
The ponderomotive force has been suggested to be the main mechanism to produce the so-
called first ionization potential (FIP) effect—the enrichment of low-FIP elements observed in …
