Electrostatic Waves with Rapid Frequency Shifts in the Solar Wind from PSP observations

Abstract

During its first five orbits, the FIELDS plasma wave investigation on board Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has observed a multitude of plasma waves, including electrostatic whistler and electron Bernstein waves (Malaspina et al. 2020), sunward propagating whistlers (Agapitov et al. 2020), ion-scale electromagnetic waves (Verniero et al. 2020, Bowen et al. 2020) and Alfven, slow and fast mode waves (Chaston et al. 2020).
