Triggered Ion-acoustic Waves in the Solar Wind

For more than 12 hours beginning on January 18, 2021, continuous narrowband electrostatic emissions were observed Parker Solar Probe near 20 solar radii. The <1000 Hz frequencies well below the local ion plasma frequency. Surprisingly, consisted of wave packets with shock-like envelopes, appearing repetitively at a ~1.5 rate. This repetitiveness correlated and was in phase low frequency electromagnetic fluctuations. associated simultaneously beams conditions favorable for ion-acoustic excitation, i.e. Te/Ti~5. Based this information their velocity estimates about 100 km/s, these are interpreted as waves. Their observation demonstrates new regime instability evolution oblique waves that have not been reported previously theory or experiment.
