Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
Interplay of Turbulence and Proton-Microinstability Growth in Space Plasmas
Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Ramiz A. Qudsi, William H. Matthaeus +13
Numerous prior studies have shown that as proton beta increases, a narrower range of proton temperature anisotropy values is observed. This effect has often been ascribed to the ac…
The multi-dimensional Hermite-discontinuous Galerkin method for the Vlasov-Maxwell equations
Oleksandr Koshkarov, Gianmarco Manzini, Gian Luca Delzanno +2
We discuss the development, analysis, implementation, and numerical assessment of a spectral method for the numerical simulation of the three-dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell equations.…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
Electron-only reconnection in kinetic Alfvén turbulence
Cristian Vega, Vadim Roytershteyn, Gian Luca Delzanno +1
We study numerically small-scale reconnection events in kinetic, low-frequency, quasi-2D turbulence (termed kinetic-Alfvén turbulence). Using 2D particle-in-cell simulations, we de…
