Mixing the solar wind proton and electron scales. Theory and 2D-PIC simulations of firehose instability
R. A. López, A. Micera, M. Lazar +5
Firehose-like instabilities (FIs) are cited in multiple astrophysical applications. Of particular interest are the kinetic manifestations in weakly-collisional or even collisionles…

On the role of solar wind expansion as a source of whistler waves: scattering of suprathermal electrons and heat flux regulation in the inner heliosphere
A. Micera, A. N. Zhukov, R. A. López +5
The role of solar wind expansion in generating whistler waves is investigated using the EB-iPic3D code, which models solar wind expansion self-consistently within a fully kinetic s…

Particle-In-Cell simulation of whistler heat flux instabilities in the solar wind: heat flux regulation and electron halo formation
A. Micera, A. N. Zhukov, R. A. López +4
We present results of two-dimensional fully kinetic Particle-In-Cell simulation in order to shed light on the role of whistler waves in the scattering of strahl electrons and in th…
