Kinetic heating by Alfvén waves in magnetic shears
Fabio Bacchini, Francesco Pucci, Francesco Malara +1
With first-principles kinetic simulations, we show that a large-scale Alfvén wave (AW) propagating in an inhomogeneous background decays into kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs), triggerin…
Magnetic Island Merging: Two-dimensional MHD Simulation and Test-Particle Modeling
Xiaozhou Zhao, Fabio Bacchini, Rony Keppens
In an idealized system where four current channels interact in a two-dimensional periodic setting, we follow the detailed evolution of current sheets (CSs) forming in between the c…
Fuzzball Shadows: Emergent Horizons from Microstructure
Fabio Bacchini, Daniel R. Mayerson, Bart Ripperda +4
We study the physical properties of four-dimensional, string-theoretical, horizonless "fuzzball" geometries by imaging their shadows. Their microstructure traps light rays straying…
