Quasilinear Wave "Reflection" Due to Proton Heating by an Imbalanced Turbulent Cascade
Philip A. Isenberg, Bernard J. Vasquez, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +1
We investigate the quasilinear effects of the resonant wave-particle interaction under conditions of imbalanced turbulent heating in the collisionless coronal hole. We find that ve…

Temperature anisotropy instabilities driven by intermittent velocity shears in the solar wind
Simon Opie, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher H. K. Chen +5
Where and under what conditions the transfer of energy between electromagnetic fields and particles takes place in the solar wind remains an open question. We investigate the condi…

A Kinetic Model of Solar Wind Generation and Heating by Kinetic Alfvén Wave Turbulence
Philip A. Isenberg, Bernard J. Vasquez
We present results from a kinetic model of collisionless gyrotropic coronal hole protons heated by cyclotron and Landau resonant dissipation of critically balanced kinetic Alfvén…
