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 …

One characteristic trait of space plasmas is the multi-scale dynamics resulting from non-
linear transfers and conversions of various forms of energy. Routinely evidenced in a range …

The high temperatures and strong magnetic fields of the solar corona form streams of solar
wind that expand through the Solar System into interstellar space. At 09: 33 UT on 28 April …

The fast solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from deep within regions of open
magnetic field on the Sun called 'coronal holes'. The energy source responsible for …

During the solar minimum, when the Sun is at its least active, the solar wind, is observed at
high latitudes as a predominantly fast (more than 500 kilometres per second), highly Alfvénic …

The prediction of a supersonic solar wind was first confirmed by spacecraft near Earth, and
later by spacecraft at heliocentric distances as small as 62 solar radii. These missions …

Abstract Solar Probe Plus (SPP) will be the first spacecraft to fly into the low solar corona.
SPP's main science goal is to determine the structure and dynamics of the Sun's coronal …

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 …

One of the most striking observations made by Parker Solar Probe during its first solar
encounter is the omnipresence of rapid polarity reversals in a magnetic field that is …

Abstract Solar Probe Cup (SPC) is a Faraday cup instrument on board NASA's Parker Solar
Probe (PSP) spacecraft designed to make rapid measurements of thermal coronal and solar …
