Summary: The study examines the evolution of anisotropic turbulence in the solar wind utilizing SolO measurements and the NI MHD turbulence model, finding that the ratio of energy components and fluctuations increase with the angle between the solar wind speed and magnetic field before decreasing again. Additionally, it is observed that solar wind turbulence is a combination of dominant 2D components and minority slab components as a function of heliocentric distance, with theoretical and observed results showing excellent agreement.

Summary: This study investigates the radial evolution of solar wind plasma from coronal holes using measurements from Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe. The observations reveal the radial trends of proton density, magnetic field, and proton temperature, as well as the characteristics of turbulence and coherent structures at different radial distances. This work provides valuable insights into the turbulent nature of solar wind plasma and its evolution from the Sun to the Earth.

Summary: This study presents the first theoretical modeling of joint Parker Solar Probe (PSP)-Metis/Solar Orbiter (SolO) quadrature observations. The results show that the observed solar wind speed and density are consistent with the theoretical predictions, and the slow solar wind is found to be highly Alfvenic. The study also demonstrates the similarity between theoretical and PSP measurements in terms of slab fluctuations and turbulence pressure.

Summary: The Parker Solar Probe mission presents a unique opportunity to study the characteristics of the solar wind. Recent research has revealed changes in the magnetic and velocity field fluctuations when moving away from the Sun, likely due to the effects of magnetic field fluctuations and plasma thermal expansion.

Summary: Motivated by theoretical, numerical, and observational evidence, this study explores the possibility that the critical transition between sub-Alfvenic flow and super-Alfvenic flow in the solar atmosphere takes place within fragmented subvolumes. The initial observations could not provide enough evidence to distinguish between this possibility and a folded surface separating simply connected regions. However, future observations may help differentiate between the two possibilities. A global magnetohydrodynamic model coupled with a turbulence transport model is used to generate possible realizations of this critical zone.

Summary: This study investigates electrostatic Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves in the solar wind, exploring their relationship with current structures. Results show that ion-acoustic waves are frequently observed in the solar wind, often associated with regions of enhanced currents, but not directly at current structures.

Summary: This study found that there is a similar spectral-index anisotropy in switchback and non-switchback intervals, consistent with critical balance, but power anisotropy is more enhanced in the non-switchback samples, possibly due to the 'less developed' turbulence in the non-switchback periods.

Summary: PSP's fourth solar encounter revealed differences in turbulence properties between inbound and outbound regions, likely due to proximity to the heliospheric current sheet. Turbulence in the streamer belt wind near the HCS showed characteristics similar to slow wind at 1 au, suggesting it as prototypical slow solar wind. Furthermore, measured Alvenic turbulence energy fluxes in the streamer belt were significantly lower than model predictions, indicating the need for additional mechanisms to explain solar wind acceleration in this region.

Summary: The high temperatures and strong magnetic fields of the solar corona form streams of solar wind that expand through the Solar System, with magnetic pressure dominating both ion and electron pressure. The sub-Alfvenic nature of the flow suggests suppressed magnetic reconnection at the base of the pseudostreamer, as evidenced by unusually low densities in the region.

Summary: This study estimates the energy transfer rate of turbulent cascade in the expanding solar wind by using a linear scaling of the mixed third-order moment of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluctuations. Data from the Helios 2 spacecraft and direct numerical simulations with the FLAME code were used for interpretation. The results show that the turbulence energy transfer rate decays approximately as a power law of the distance and corresponds to the observed radial temperature profile in the fast wind case.

Summary: This study investigates the electron heat flux instability in the inner heliosphere, finding that both electron acoustic waves and oblique whistler waves are unstable under conditions of large relative drift speed. It is proposed that electron heat flux can effectively drive oblique whistler waves in anisotropic electron velocity distribution. Additionally, lower-hybrid waves are observed to be stronger than oblique Alfven waves in the solar atmosphere.

Summary: The text discusses the importance of turbulent cascade in heating the solar corona and forming the solar wind, the challenges in studying temperature fluctuations, and the use of the Maxwellian approximation to investigate thermal velocity. It explores the question of whether the temperature spectra derived from Faraday cups are real or apparent, and compares spectral slopes with the evolution of the solar wind expansion.

Summary: Numerical simulations reveal that collisions between Alfven waves generate perturbations with different polarizations and smaller cross-field scales, supporting theoretical scenarios with direct turbulent cascades. However, spectral transport is strongly suppressed at specific scales, in contrast to traditional critical balance theory.

Summary: This study proposes a systematic method to quantify linear wave-particle interactions based on the Vlasov-Maxwellian model. The physical mechanisms responsible for the damping of the Alfven-mode wave in wavevector space are clarified. Evident signatures of wave-particle interactions between Alfven-mode waves and resonant/nonresonant particles in the velocity space are exhibited for the first time.
