Electron shock drift acceleration at a low-Mach-number, low-plasma-beta quasi-perpendicular shock
Ao Guo, Quanming Lu, San Lu +2
Shock drift acceleration plays an important role in generating high-energy electrons at quasi-perpendicular shocks, but its efficiency in low beta plasmas is questionable. In this…
Unveiling the Mixing and Transport Processes of Solar Wind and Planetary Ions in the Magnetopause Boundary Layer
Zhongwei Yang, Can Huang, Xiaocheng Guo +5
Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) vortices are widely observed in astrophysics and heliophysics, including at Jovian and terrestrial magnetopauses, the Martian sheath-ionosphere boundary, the…
Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation of magnetic reconnection in the downstream of a quasi-perpendicular shock
Quanming Lu, Zhongwei Yang, Huanyu Wang +4
In this paper, by performing a two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation, we investigate magnetic reconnection in the downstream of a quasi-perpendicular shock. The shock is nons…
MMS direct observations of kinetic-scale shock self-reformation
Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, Andreas Johlander +6
Studies of shocks have long suggested that a shock can undergo cyclically self-reformation in a time scale of ion cyclotron period. This process has been proposed as a primary mech…
PIC simulations of microinstabilities and waves at near-Sun solar wind perpendicular shocks: Predictions for Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter
Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, Shuichi Matsukiyo +6
Microinstabilities and waves excited at moderate-Mach-number perpendicular shocks in the near-Sun solar wind are investigated by full particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. By analyzi…
