• Solar Orbiter (2012, background): “The origin of these structures is uncertain: are they the remnant of complex coronal structuring in the form of strands of small-scale flux tubes advected by the solar wind flow (Borovsky, 2008; Bruno et al., 2001), or are they generated locally by turbulent fluctuations? At scales around the proton”
• Origins of the Ambient Solar Wind: Implications for Space Weather (2017, background): “There have been many reports of in situ “microstreams” that may be the imprints or relics of coronal structures (Thieme et al. 1990; Reisenfeld et al. 1999; Borovsky 2008, 2016).”
• Switchbacks in the Near-Sun Magnetic Field: Long Memory and Impact on the Turbulence Cascade (2019, background): “One would expect this for entangled filaments [46] or flux tubes [11] that are moving past the spacecraft.”
• The Large Longitudinal Spread of Solar Energetic Particles During the 17 January 2010 Solar Event (2012, background): “Borovsky (2008); Dunzlaff, Kopp, and Heber (2010)).”
• The Heliospheric Magnetic Field (2013, background): “However, the full extent of this turbulence is debated, as magnetic field discontinuities could equally be the result of spacecraft encountering structures convected by the solar wind (Mariani et al., 1973; Tu and Marsch, 1993; Bruno et al., 2001; Borovsky, 2008).”
• Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigation: Design of the Solar Wind and Coronal Plasma Instrument Suite for Solar Probe Plus (2015, background): “Borovsky (2008) and Li (2008) have shown that magnetic discontinuities in the solar wind may be fossil structures originating from the solar surface related to granule and supergranule structure on the Sun.”
• Solar Wind Turbulence and the Role of Ion Instabilities (2013, background): “However, the vast majority of structures have no such signature: are these also part of the structure of the solar wind (Borovsky 2008), or are they generated dynamically by the turbulence (Greco et al. 2009, 2012)?”
