Distinct polytropic behavior of plasma during ICME-HSS Interaction
Kalpesh Ghag, Anil Raghav, Zubair Shaikh +3
Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) and High Speed Streams (HSSs) are noteworthy drivers of disturbance of interplanetary space. Interaction between them can cause severa…
The Stability of the Electron Strahl against the Oblique Fast-magnetosonic/Whistler Instability in the Inner Heliosphere
Seong-Yeop Jeong, Joel B. Abraham, Daniel Verscharen +8
We analyze the micro-kinetic stability of the electron strahl in the solar wind depending on heliocentric distance. The oblique fast-magnetosonic/whistler (FM/W) instability has em…
The Kinetic Expansion of Solar-Wind Electrons: Transport Theory and Predictions for the very Inner Heliosphere
Seong-Yeop Jeong, Daniel Verscharen, Christian Vocks +9
We propose a transport theory for the kinetic evolution of solar-wind electrons in the heliosphere. We derive a gyro-averaged kinetic transport equation that accounts for the spher…
Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection in particle-in-cell simulations of anisotropic plasma turbulence
Jeffersson A. Agudelo Rueda, Daniel Verscharen, Robert T. Wicks +6
We use 3D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations to study the occurrence of magnetic reconnection in a simulation of decaying turbulence created by anisotropic counter-propagat…
Relationship between polytropic index and temperature anisotropy in space plasmas
George Livadiotis, George Nicolaou
The paper develops a theoretical relationship between the polytropic index and the temperature anisotropy that may characterize space plasmas. The derivation is based on the correl…
Anisotropic kappa distributions I: Formulation based on particle correlations
George Livadiotis, George Nicolaou, Frederic Allegrini
We develop the theoretical basis for the connection of the variety of anisotropic distributions with the statistical correlations among particles velocity components. By examining…
