An interplanetary shock driven by a coronal mass ejection (CME) containing an interval of sub-Alfv\'enic flow impacted Earth on April 23, 2024. In this article, we analyze the turbulence in the sheath region between the shock and CME to…

We study intermittent coherent structures in solar wind magnetic turbulence from MHD to kinetic plasma scales using Parker Solar Probe data during its first perihelion (at 0.17 au), when the satellite was in the Alfv\'enic slow wind of 340…

Magnetohydronamic turbulence is believed to play a crucial role in heating the laboratorial, space, and astrophysical plasmas. However, the precise connection between the turbulent fluctuations and the particle kinetics has not yet been…
