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-…
Alternative high plasma beta regimes of electron heat-flux instabilities in the solar wind
R. A. López, M. Lazar, S. M. Shaaban +2
The heat transport in the solar wind is dominated by the suprathermal electron populations, i.e., a tenuous halo and a field-aligned beam/strahl, with high energies and antisunward…
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…
