Parker Solar Probe Observations of Compound Reconnection Exhaust Boundaries and Mirror-Mode Structures in the Near-Sun Heliospheric Current Sheet
In-situ PSP data shows near-Sun reconnection exhausts bounded by compound slow-shock plus rotational-discontinuity structures rather than pure slow-mode shocks, with mirror instabilities triggered inside the exhaust.
