We perform a statistical study of the turbulent power spectrum at inertial and kinetic scales observed during the first perihelion encounter of the Parker Solar Probe. We find that often there is an extremely steep scaling range of the power spectrum just above the ion-kinetic scales, similar to prior observations at 1 A.U.

- The Sun emits solar wind, a stream of ionized material, but its exact origin remains unclear.
- Researchers used Hinode X-ray Telescope to observe a solar active region near a coronal hole, discovering a continuous outflow of soft X-ray-emitting plasmas.
- These outflows are estimated to account for about 25% of the total mass loss rate of the solar wind, suggesting they could be a significant source of the solar wind itself.
