PIC simulations of microinstabilities and waves at near-Sun solar wind perpendicular shocks: Predictions for Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter

Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, Shuichi Matsukiyo +6

Microinstabilities and waves excited at moderate-Mach-number perpendicular shocks in the near-Sun solar wind are investigated by full particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. By analyzi…
