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 …

The solar wind is known to be highly structured in space and time. Observations from Parker
Solar Probe have revealed an abundance of so-called magnetic switchbacks within the near …

We investigate properties of large-scale solar wind Alfvénic fluctuations and their evolution
during radial expansion. We assume a strictly radial background magnetic field B∥ R⁠, and …

Pressure anisotropy can strongly influence the dynamics of weakly collisional, high-beta
plasmas, but its effects are missed by standard magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Small …

Context. Parker Solar Probe's (PSP) discovery of the prevalence of switchbacks (SBs),
localised magnetic deflections in the nascent solar wind, has sparked interest in uncovering …

Switchbacks—rapid, large deflections of the solar wind's magnetic field—have generated
interest as possible signatures of the mechanisms that heat the corona and accelerate the …

In magnetized, stratified environments such as the Sun's corona and solar wind, Alfvénic
fluctuations 'reflect'from background gradients, enabling nonlinear interactions that allow …

The heliosphere is permeated with highly structured solar wind originating from the Sun.
One of the primary science objectives of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is to determine the …

In a magnetised plasma on scales well above ion kinetic scales, any constant-magnitude
magnetic field, accompanied by parallel Alfvénic flows, forms a nonlinear solution in an …

Context. Magnetic switchbacks are localised polarity reversals in the radial component of the
heliospheric magnetic field. Observations from Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have shown that …
