Polytropic Behavior in Corotating Interaction Regions: Evidence of Alfvénic Heating

Polytropic Behavior in Corotating Interaction Regions: Evidence of Alfvénic Heating

Corotating interaction regions (CIRs) are recurring structures in the solar wind, characterized by interactions between fast and slow solar wind streams that compress and heat plasma. This study investigates the polytropic behavior of distinct regions in and around CIRs: uncompressed slow solar wind...
