Alpha Core-Beam Origin in Low- Solar Wind Plasma: Insights from Fully Kinetic Simulation
Luca Pezzini, Fabio Bacchini, Andrei N. Zhukov +2
In-situ observations of the fast solar wind in the inner-heliosphere show that minor ions and ion sub-populations often exhibit distinct drift velocities. Both alpha particles and…
On the role of solar wind expansion as a source of whistler waves: scattering of suprathermal electrons and heat flux regulation in the inner heliosphere
A. Micera, A. N. Zhukov, R. A. López +5
The role of solar wind expansion in generating whistler waves is investigated using the EB-iPic3D code, which models solar wind expansion self-consistently within a fully kinetic s…
Particle-In-Cell simulation of whistler heat flux instabilities in the solar wind: heat flux regulation and electron halo formation
A. Micera, A. N. Zhukov, R. A. López +4
We present results of two-dimensional fully kinetic Particle-In-Cell simulation in order to shed light on the role of whistler waves in the scattering of strahl electrons and in th…
Electromagnetic Ion-Ion Instabilities in Space Plasmas: Effects of Suprathermal Populations
S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar, R. A. López +1
In collision-poor plasmas from space, three distinct ion-ion instabilities can be driven by the proton beams streaming along the background magnetic field: left-hand resonant, non-…
