Alfvén Waves from Interchange Reconnection at Separators as a Possible Source of Switchbacks

Parker Solar Probe has observed Alfvénic fluctuations of amplitude large enough to occasionally reverse the local magnetic field direction—a phenomenon known as a switchback. Some have attributed switchbacks to reconnection in the low corona between open and closed field lines, called interchange re...
