Collisionless Phase Mixing Mimics Diffusive Transport in Radiation Belt Observations

Adnane Osmane, Xin An, Anton Artemyev +3

Since the dawn of the space age, observations of energetic particles in planetary radiation belts have been interpreted within a diffusive transport framework, even though the domi…

Spectral transfer and Kármán-Howarth-Monin equations for compressible Hall magnetohydrodynamics

Petr Hellinger, Emanuele Papini, Andrea Verdini +4

We derive two new forms of the Kármán-Howarth-Monin equation for decaying compressible Hall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We test them on results of a weakly-compressible,…

The role of parametric instabilities in turbulence generation and proton heating: Hybrid simulations of parallel propagating Alfvén waves

C. A. González, A. Tenerani, M. Velli +1

Large amplitude Alfvén waves tend to be unstable to parametric instabilities which result in a decay process of the initial wave into different daughter waves depending upon the am…

Fast acceleration of transrelativistic electrons in astrophysical turbulence

Domenico Trotta, Luca Franci, David Burgess +1

Highly energetic, relativistic electrons are commonly present in many astrophysical systems, from solar flares to the intra-cluster medium, as indicated by observed electromagnetic…

Electron mirror instability: Particle-in-cell simulations

Petr Hellinger, Stepan Stverak

Properties of the electron mirror instability and its competition with the usually dominant whistler (electron cyclotron) instability driven by the electron perpendicular temperatu…

Proton temperature-anisotropy-driven instabilities in weakly collisional plasmas: Hybrid simulations

Petr Hellinger, Pavel M. Travnicek

Kinetic instabilities in weakly collisional, high beta plasmas are investigated using two-dimensional hybrid expanding box simulations with Coulomb collisions modeled through the L…
