摘要:

在这封信中,我们报告的观测磁之字形(SB)功能附近1天文单位使用的数据从\emph{Wind}航天器。这些特征似乎与帕克太阳探测器任务(PSP)在更靠近太阳的地方观察到的特征惊人地相似:即太阳风整体速度$V$的单侧尖峰(或增强)与径向场分量$B_R$中看到的尖峰相关/反相关。在我们分析的太阳风流中,1天文单位附近的这些特定SB特征与大振幅Alfvénic振荡有关,该振荡沿着接近径向的局部背景(普遍)磁场$\bf{B}_0$从太阳向外传播。我们还表明,当$\bf{B}_0$几乎垂直于径向方向时,大振幅Alfvénic振荡显示$V$的双侧变化(即,$V$根据矢量$Δ\bf{B}=\bf{B} - \bf{B}_0$交替增加和减少)。因此,SBs可能不会总是出现在$V$单侧尖峰,特别是在较大的日心距离,当地的背景场统计上偏离径向。我们认为,SBs可以很好地描述大振幅Alfvénic波动,如果场旋转计算相对于一个确定的本地背景场,在某些情况下,可能会偏离大规模的帕克场。

英文摘要:

In this letter we report observations of magnetic switchback (SB) features near 1 au using data from the \emph{Wind} spacecraft. These features appear to be strikingly similar to the ones observed by the Parker Solar Probe mission (PSP) closer to the Sun: namely, one-sided spikes (or enhancements) in the solar-wind bulk speed $V$ that correlate/anti-correlate with the spikes seen in the radial-field component $B_R$. In the solar-wind streams that we analyzed, these specific SB features near 1 au are associated with large-amplitude Alfvénic oscillations that propagate outward from the sun along a local background (prevalent) magnetic field $\bf{B}_0$ that is nearly radial. We also show that, when $\bf{B}_0$ is nearly perpendicular to the radial direction, the large amplitude Alfvénic oscillations display variations in $V$ that are two-sided (i.e., $V$ alternately increases and decreases depending on the vector $Δ\bf{B}=\bf{B} - \bf{B}_0$). As a consequence, SBs may not appear always as one-sided spikes in $V$, especially at larger heliocentric distances where the local background field statistically departs from the radial direction. We suggest that SBs can be well described by large-amplitude Alfvénic fluctuations if the field rotation is computed with respect to a well-determined local background field that, in some cases, may deviate from the large-scale Parker field.
