Modeling Hot, Anisotropic Ion Beams in the Solar Wind Motivated by the Parker Solar Probe Observations near Perihelia

Recent observations of the solar wind ions by the SPAN-I instruments on board the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft at solar perihelia (Encounters) 4 and closer find ample evidence of complex anisotropic non-Maxwellian velocity distributions that consist of core, beam, and “hammerhead” (i.e., anis...
