Parker Solar Probe Observations of a Highly Energetic and Asymmetric Reconnecting Heliospheric Current Sheet during Encounter 13

Parker Solar Probe Observations of a Highly Energetic and Asymmetric Reconnecting Heliospheric Current Sheet during Encounter 13

We report Parker Solar Probe observations of reconnection during an unusual heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing at 14.8 solar radii that occurred ∼15 hr after the passage of a CME. The HCS was surrounded by unusually low solar wind density. The hybrid Alfvén speed ( V _A ∼ 515 km s ^−1 ) and a...
