Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes with Field-aligned Flows via the PSP In Situ Observations
Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes with Field-aligned Flows via the PSP In Situ Observations
Abstract Magnetic flux rope, formed by the helical magnetic field lines, can sometimes maintain its shape while carrying significant plasma flow that is aligned with the local magnetic field. We report the existence of such structures and static flux ropes by applying the Grad-Shafranov-based algorithm to the Parker Solar Probe …
