Quasi-parallel anti-sunward propagating whistler waves associated to the electron-deficit in the near-Sun solar wind: Particle-in-Cell simulation
Alfredo Micera, Daniel Verscharen, Jesse T. Coburn +1
In-situ observations of the solar wind have shown that the electron velocity distribution function (VDF) consists of a quasi-Maxwellian core, comprising most of the electron popula…

Fully Kinetic Simulations of Proton-Beam-Driven Instabilities from Parker Solar Probe Observations
Luca Pezzini, Andrei N. Zhukov, Fabio Bacchini +5
The expanding solar wind plasma ubiquitously exhibits anisotropic non-thermal particle velocity distributions. Typically, proton Velocity Distribution Functions (VDFs) show the pre…
