Generation of Sunward Ion Cyclotron Waves and the Nature of Right-handed Polarized Ion-scale Waves in the Near-Sun Solar Wind

Observations from the Parker Solar Probe have revealed the ubiquitous presence of right-handed polarized waves in the near-Sun solar wind. While antisunward fast-magnetosonic whistler waves have been commonly considered as their source, sunward ion cyclotron waves (ICWs) are another plausible candid...
