Spatial correlation of solar-wind turbulence from two-point measurements.
Interplanetary turbulence, the best studied case of low frequency plasma turbulence, is the only directly quantified instance of astrophysical turbulence. Here, magnetic field correlation analysis, using for the first time only proper two-point, single time measurements, provides a key step in unraveling the space-time structure of interplanetary turbulence. Simultaneous magnetic field data fro...
متن کاملProbing the solar corona with very long baseline interferometry
Understanding and monitoring the solar corona and solar wind is important for many applications like telecommunications or geomagnetic studies. Coronal electron density models have been derived by various techniques over the last 45 years, principally by analysing the effect of the corona on spacecraft tracking. Here we show that recent observational data from very long baseline interferometry ...
متن کاملThe small amplitude of density turbulence in the inner solar wind
Very Long Baseline Interferometer (VLBI) observations were made of radio sources close to the Sun, whose lines of sight pass through the inner solar wind (impact parameters 16–26 R ). Power spectra were analyzed of the interferometer phase fluctuations due to the solar wind plasma. These power spectra provide information on the level of plasma density fluctuations on spatial scales of roughly o...
متن کاملDissipation-Scale Turbulence in the Solar Wind
We present a cascade model for turbulence in weakly collisional plasmas that follows the nonlinear cascade of energy from the large scales of driving in the MHD regime to the small scales of the kinetic Alfvén wave regime where the turbulence is dissipated by kinetic processes. Steady-state solutions of the model for the slow solar wind yield three conclusions: (1) beyond the observed break in ...
متن کاملThe Canadian geophysical long baseline interferometer
The Canadian geophysical long baseline interferometer, a new very long baseline interferometer system, has been developed and put into operation. The system tracks source delay and fringe rotation during observation using a wave front clock. After the low-noise receiver the signals from radio sources are channelized and down converted to baseband, each baseband channel is one bit digitized at a...
