In situ observations of large-amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind | Science

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 interplanetary magnetic field that transport energy. We use in …  » …
