Self-inhibiting thermal conduction in high-beta, whistler-unstable plasma
S. Komarov, A. Schekochihin, E. Churazov +1
A heat flux in a high- plasma with low collisionality triggers the whistler instability. Quasilinear theory predicts saturation of the instability in a marginal state characteri…
Ab-Initio Pulsar Magnetosphere: Particle acceleration in Oblique Rotators and High-energy Emission Modeling
Alexander A. Philippov, Anatoly Spitkovsky
We perform global particle-in-cell simulations of pulsar magnetospheres including pair production, ion extraction from the surface, frame dragging corrections, and high energy phot…
Chemical Enhancements in Shock-accelerated Particles: Ab-initio Simulations
Damiano Caprioli, Dennis T. Yi, Anatoly Spitkovsky
We study the thermalization, injection, and acceleration of ions with different mass/charge ratios, , in non-relativistic collisionless shocks via hybrid (kinetic ions-fluid e…
