Comparing the counter-beaming and temperature anisotropy driven aperiodic electron firehose instabilities in collisionless plasma environments

Pablo S. Moya, Rodrigo A Lopez, Marian Lazar +2

The electron firehose instabilities are among the most studied kinetic instabilities, especially in the context of space plasmas, whose dynamics is mainly controlled by collisionle…

On the interplay of solar wind proton and electron instabilities: Linear and quasi-linear approaches

S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar, R. A. López +1

Important efforts are currently made for understanding the so-called kinetic instabilities, driven by the anisotropy of different species of plasma particles present in the solar w…

A firehose-like aperiodic instability of the counter-beaming electron plasmas

R. A. López, M. Lazar, S. M. Shaaban +2

Depending on the physical conditions involved the beam plasma systems may reveal new unstable regimes triggered by the wave instabilities of different nature. We show through linea…

Particle-in-cell simulations of the whistler heat-flux instability in the solar wind conditions

R. A. López, S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar +4

In collision-poor plasmas from space, e.g., solar wind or stellar outflows, the heat-flux carried by the strahl or beaming electrons is expected to be regulated by the self-generat…

Firehose instabilities triggered by the solar wind suprathermal electrons

S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar, R. A. Lopez +2

In collision-poor plasmas from space, e.g., solar wind, terrestrial magnetospheres, kinetic instabilities are expected to play a major role in constraining the temperature anisotro…
