Spherically Polarized Alfv\'en Waves and the Gosling Boost
Spherically polarized Alfvén waves (constant |B|) produce strictly one-sided radial velocity boosts in the solar wind, and PSP data show the wave's parallel and perpendicular fluctuations decay at different rates as predicted by this geometry.
