Polytropic Analysis of Large-scale Compressive Fluctuations in the Solar Wind: Fluid and Kinetic Behavior

Large-scale compressive plasma fluctuations in the solar wind are typically characterized by an anticorrelation between the plasma density and the magnitude of the magnetic field, and thus share polarization properties with slow waves. The nature of the slow modes in the solar wind with respect to t...
