Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigation: Design of the Solar Wind and Coronal Plasma Instrument Suite for Solar Probe Plus

Justin C. Kasper, +80 more
TL;DR: The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigation on Solar Probe Plus is a four sensor instrument suite that provides complete measurements of the electrons and ionized helium and hydrogen that constitute the bulk of solar wind and coronal plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Space Physics Environment Data Analysis System (SPEDAS)

Vassilis Angelopoulos, +104 more
TL;DR: The SPEDAS development history, goals, and current implementation are reviewed, and its “modes of use” are explained with examples geared for users and its technical implementation and requirements with software developers in mind are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alfvénic velocity spikes and rotational flows in the near-Sun solar wind

TL;DR: Observations of solar-wind plasma at heliocentric distances of about 35 solar radii reveal an increasing rotational component to the flow velocity of the solar wind around the Sun, peaking at 35 to 50 kilometres per second—considerably above the amplitude of the waves.
