PIC simulations of nonrelativistic high-Mach-number oblique shocks propagating in a turbulent medium
Karol Fulat, Eloise Moore, Mahmoud Alawashra +4
Collisionless shocks are common in astrophysical systems and stand as sites of particle acceleration. While particles at perpendicular shocks may not return to the upstream region,…
Kinetic simulations of non-relativistic high-Mach-number perpendicular shocks propagating in a turbulent medium
Karol Fulat, Artem Bohdan, Gabriel Torralba Paz +1
Strong non-relativistic shocks are known to accelerate particles up to relativistic energies. However, for Diffusive Shock Acceleration electrons must have a highly suprathermal en…
Pre-acceleration in the Electron Foreshock II: Oblique Whistler Waves
Paul J. Morris, Artem Bohdan, Martin S. Weidl +3
Thermal electrons have gyroradii many orders of magnitude smaller than the finite width of a shock, thus need to be pre-accelerated before they can cross it and be accelerated by d…
Pre-acceleration in the Electron Foreshock I: Electron Acoustic Waves
Paul J. Morris, Artem Bohdan, Martin S. Weidl +1
To undergo diffusive shock acceleration, electrons need to be pre-accelerated to increase their energies by several orders of magnitude, else their gyro-radii are smaller than the…
The electron foreshock at high-Mach-number nonrelativistic oblique shocks
Artem Bohdan, Martin S. Weidl, Paul J. Morris +1
In the Universe matter outside of stars and compact objects is mostly composed of collisionless plasma. The interaction of a supersonic plasma flow with an obstacle results in coll…
