Multiple Boris integrators for particle-in-cell simulation

Seiji Zenitani, Tsunehiko N Kato

We construct Boris-type schemes for integrating the motion of charged particles in particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The new solvers virtually combine the 2-step Boris procedure a…

Intense geomagnetic storm during Maunder minimum possibly by a quiescent filament eruption

Hiroaki Isobe, Yusuke Ebihara, Akito D. Kawamura +2

The sun occasionally undergoes the so-called grand minima, in which its magnetic activity, measured by the number of sunspots, is suppressed for decades. The most prominent grand m…

Evaluation of plasma properties from chorus waves observed at the generation region

Lilla Juhász, Yoshiharu Omura, János Lichtenberger +1

In this study we present an inversion method which provides thermal plasma population parameters from characteristics of chorus emissions only. Our ultimate goal is to apply this m…

Low-Latitude Aurorae during the Extreme Space Weather Events in 1859

Hisashi Hayakawa, Yusuke Ebihara, David P. Hand +4

The Carrington storm (September 1/2, 1859) is one of the largest magnetic storms ever observed and it has caused global auroral displays in low-latitude areas, together with a seri…

On the Boris solver in particle-in-cell simulation

Seiji Zenitani, Takayuki Umeda

A simple form of the Boris solver in particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation is proposed. It employs an exact solution of the Lorentz-force part, and it is equivalent to the Boris solver…

Sporadic Aurora near Geomagnetic Equator: In the Philippines, on 27 October 1856

Hisashi Hayakawa, José. M. Vaquero, Yusuke Ebihara

While low latitude auroral displays are normally considered to be a manifestation of magnetic storms of considerable size, Silverman (2003, JGR, 108, A4) reported numerous "sporadi…
