Switchback Patches Evolve into Microstreams via Magnetic Relaxation

Switchback Patches Evolve into Microstreams via Magnetic Relaxation

Switchbacks, defined as Alfvénic reversals in magnetic field polarity, can dissipate their magnetic energy with heliocentric distance. To further investigate this, two distinct solar wind parcels tracing back to a similar solar source region were examined during a radial alignment between Parker Sol...
