The solar corona and solar wind are turbulent plasma environments where energy transfer from large-scale magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluctuations to smaller kinetic scales is thought to play a critical role in coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. Despite decades of research, the properties of turbulence at ion scales, where dissipation occurs, remain poorly constrained due to limited observational data. Moreover, the precise mechanisms that heat the corona, and accelerate and heat … Continue reading Tracing Ion-Scale Turbulence and Energy Cascade Rate from the Solar Corona to 1 au by E. P. Kontar et al.
