SUMMARY:"Solar wind turbulence in the young solar wind"\, Plasma Physi
 cs (Physics/ECE/NE 922) Seminar\, Anna Tenerani\, University of Texas 
 at Austin
DESCRIPTION:The solar corona is a magnetized plasma at temperatures ab
 ove a million degrees expanding into interplanetary space through the 
 solar wind\, which fills our solar system by generating the heliospher
 e. Although decades of remote and in-situ observations have enabled si
 gnificant progress in our understanding of the solar corona and solar 
 wind dynamics\, the mechanisms underlying coronal heating and solar wi
 nd acceleration remain a fundamental unanswered question in space plas
 ma physics. The NASA mission Parker Solar Probe\, launched in August 2
 018\, aims to find answers to these questions by measuring fields and 
 particles’ energy at distances closer to the sun than any previous s
 pacecraft. In this seminar\, I will discuss how Parker Solar Probe\, b
 y flying to within 10 solar radii from the sun’s surface\, has provi
 ded unprecedented observations of the young solar wind by reshaping ou
 r understanding of coronal heating and solar wind formation\, includin
 g the role of waves and turbulence in solar wind dynamics.
