Caracterización de la turbulencia y propiedades de las fluctuaciones en intervalos con alta y baja presencia de magnetic switchbacks en la heliósfera interna, por medio de datos otorgados por Parker Solar Probe

Abstract

Through the systematic observation of the characteristics that the solar wind turbulence show, together with the fluctuations in its properties, the influence of magnetic switchbacks within this plasma has been analyzed. The main results obtained in this study demonstrate that the presence of the magnetic switchbacks contribute to a total energy development of the turbulence, since there is a greater efficiency and energy transfer in regions that have a high incidence of these events. Furthermore, it is exposed that the occurrence of the magnetic switchbacks does not increase as the distance from the Sun decreases, which shows incompatibility with the notion of associating the origin of these events to magnetic reconnection phenomena. Finally, the relevance of this study lies in inspecting and understanding the effects and causes attributed to the presence of the magnetic switchbacks in the solar wind, since these events could establish a link to a better understanding of the phenomenology behind the acceleration and heating of the particles within the solar corona.
