Switchbacks near Boundaries of Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Young Solar Wind from Parker Solar Probe Observations
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission has revealed frequent occurrences of switchbacks (SBs) and small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) as prominent structures within the solar wind. These mesoscale features are observed across all heliocentric distances, with heightened activity in the young solar wind, such as successive SMFRs, blobs, and SBs using PSP in situ observations. One study, in particular, focuses on SMFRs observed during the intervals of PSP co-rotating with the Sun, which suggests…

"Les alouettes et d'autres espèces d'oiseaux prospèrent dans les parcs solaires allemands, où le succès de la reproduction dépasse celui de nombreux autres habitats. Ces sites de projets photovoltaïques sont en train de devenir de précieux refuges, profitant Š la fois Š la faune sauvage et Š l'environnement environnant."

The Temperature Anisotropy and Helium Abundance Features of Alfvénic Slow Solar Wind Observed by Parker Solar Probe, Helios, and Wind Missions
Slow solar wind is typically characterized as having low Alfvénicity, but the occasional occurrence of highly Alfvénic slow solar wind (HASSW) raises questions about its source regions and evolution. In this work, we conduct a statistical analysis of temperature anisotropy and helium abundance in HASSW using data from PSP within 0.25 AU, Helios between 0.3 AU and 1 AU, and Wind near 1 AU. Our findings reveal that HASSW is prevalent close to the Sun, with PSP observations displaying a distinct…

An Intermittent Model for the $1/f$ Spectrum in the Pristine Solar Wind
We present a statistical, observational study of the $1/f$ range of solar wind turbulence, where $f$ denotes frequency, using in situ data from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP). We compute the energy cascade rate using the third order law of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, incorporating expansion terms to account for solar wind dynamics. Our results reveal a $1/τ$ dependence of the energy cascade rate, where $τ$ is the temporal lag, within the $1/f$ range, in contrast to the …

Intermittency in Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections Observed by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter
Intermittency has been studied extensively in the fast and slow solar winds but to a far lesser extent in interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). While ICMEs are often characterized by their relatively smooth, large-scale magnetic flux rope structures, a spectrum of fluctuations is nonetheless present at smaller scales. We have examined kurtosis and its scaling exponents at magnetohydrodynamic inertial scales in 49 ICMEs observed between 0.25 and 1 au by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbi…

Electric fields and waves in the Venus nightside magnetosphere
On November 6, 2024, the Parker Solar Probe flew past Venus to make the first accurate electric field measurement in the nightside Venusian magnetosphere. To achieve this result, the electric field antennas were current biased in a way never before experienced by an electric field detector. This biasing requirement, that the positive bias current in the Venus shadow be about equal to the electron thermal current, is discussed and illustrated. About one minute of useful electric f ield data in t…
