Understanding Non-Gaussian Chorus Wave Statistics via the Benjamin-Feir Index
D. J. Ratliff, O. Allanson, D. Rasinskaite +4
We derive an extended wave action model for equatorial chorus waves, identifying a wave activity index (a version of the Benjamin-Feir index, BFI) which indicates non-Gaussian freq…
Inertial-Range Energy Transfer Free from Isotropic Assumption in Turbulent Space Plasma
Zhuoran Gao, Yan Yang, Francesco Pecora +5
The idea of an energy cascade in the inertial range is often invoked in turbulent space plasmas to estimate the energy dissipation rate. Laws governing the behavior of third-order…
Outstanding questions and future research of magnetic reconnection
R. Nakamura, J. L. Burch, J. Birn +22
This short article highlights the unsolved problems of magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma. The advanced in-situ plasma measurements and simulations enabled scientists to…
Evidence of a "current-mediated" turbulent regime in space and astrophysical plasmas
Luca Franci, Daniele Del Sarto, Emanuele Papini +6
How the turbulent energy cascade develops below the magnetohydrodynamic scales in space and astrophysical plasmas is a major open question. Here, we measure the power spectrum of m…
Reconnection from a Turbulence Perspective
S. Adhikari, M. A. Shay, T. N. Parashar +6
The spectral properties associated with laminar, anti-parallel reconnection are examined using a 2.5D kinetic particle in cell (PIC) simulation. Both the reconnection rate and the…
Challenges and the next transformative steps in understanding plasma turbulence from the perspective of multi-spacecraft measurements
Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho, Jay A. Bookbinder +18
We have become heavily reliant on electrical technologies, from power grids to GPS to wireless communication. Any disruption of these systems will have severe global consequences.…
