The Enhancement of Ion Heating in Kinetic, Anti-Parallel Reconnection in the Presence of a Flow Shear
Colby C. Haggerty, Derek Sikorski, Michael A. Shay +4
We investigate the kinetic effects of upstream, magnetic field-aligned, flow shear on anti-parallel magnetic reconnection using 2.5D Particle-In-Cell simulations. Our results demon…
Effect of a guide field on the turbulence like properties of magnetic reconnection
Subash Adhikari, Michael A. Shay, Tulasi N. Parashar +4
The effect of an external guide field on the turbulence-like properties of magnetic reconnection is studied using five different 2.5D kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Th…
Magnetic reconnection as an energy cascade process
S. Adhikari, T. N. Parashar, M. A. Shay +5
Reconnection and turbulence are two of the most commonly observed dynamical processes in plasmas, but their relationship is still not fully understood. Using 2.5D kinetic particle-…
Parker Solar Probe observations of proton beams simultaneous with ion-scale waves
J. L. Verniero, D. E. Larson, R. Livi +19
Parker Solar Probe (PSP), NASA's latest and closest mission to the Sun, is on a journey to investigate fundamental enigmas of the inner heliosphere. This paper reports initial obse…
Reconnection from a Turbulence Perspective
S. Adhikari, M. A. Shay, T. N. Parashar +6
The spectral properties associated with laminar, anti-parallel reconnection are examined using a 2.5D kinetic particle in cell (PIC) simulation. Both the reconnection rate and the…
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…
