Intermittency and Ion Temperature-Anisotropy Instabilities: Simulation and Magnetosheath Observation
Ramiz A. Qudsi, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Bennett A. Maruca +11
Weakly collisional space plasmas are rarely in local thermal equilibrium and often exhibit non-Maxwellian electron and ion velocity distributions that lead to the growth of microin…
Energetic Particle Increases Associated with Stream Interaction Regions
C. M. S. Cohen, E. R. Christian, A. C. Cummings +34
The Parker Solar Probe was launched on 2018 August 12 and completed its second orbit on 2019 June 19 with perihelion of 35.7 solar radii. During this time, the Energetic particle I…
[Plasma 2020 Decadal] Disentangling the Spatiotemporal Structure of Turbulence Using Multi-Spacecraft Data
J. M. TenBarge, O. Alexandrova, S. Boldyrev +26
This white paper submitted for 2020 Decadal Assessment of Plasma Science concerns the importance of multi-spacecraft missions to address fundamental questions concerning plasma tur…
Transition from ion-coupled to electron-only reconnection: Basic physics and implications for plasma turbulence
P. Sharma Pyakurel, M. A. Shay, T. D. Phan +9
Using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we simulate reconnection conditions appropriate for the magnetosheath and solar wind, i.e., plasma beta (ratio of gas pressure to…
MMS Observations of Beta-Dependent Constraints on Ion Temperature-Anisotropy in Earth's Magnetosheath
Bennett A. Maruca, A. Chasapis, S. P. Gary +15
Protons (ionized hydrogen) in the solar wind frequently exhibit distinct temperatures ( and ) perpendicular and parallel to the plasma's background ma…
