Orbits of charged particles with an azimuthal initial velocity in a dipole magnetic field

Hanrui Pang, Siming Liu, Rong Liu

Nonintegrable dynamical systems have complex structures in their phase space. Motion of a test charged particle in a dipole magnetic field can be reduced to a 2 degree-of-freedom (…

GeV gamma-ray emission from pulsar wind nebula HESS J1356-645 with Fermi-LAT

Xi Liu, Xiaolei Guo, Yuliang Xin +2

HESS J1356-645 is considered to be a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the pulsar PSR J1357-6429. We reanalyze the GeV gamma-ray emission in the direction of HESS J1356-645…

Proton and Helium Heating by Cascading Turbulence in a Low-beta Plasma

Zhaodong Shi, P. A. Muñoz, J. Büchner +1

How ions are energized and heated is a fundamental problem in the study of energy dissipation in magnetized plasmas. In particular, the heating of heavy ions (including ${}^{4}\mat…

Cosmic-Ray Convection-Diffusion Anisotropy

Yiran Zhang, Siming Liu, Dejin Wu

Under nonuniform convection, the distribution of diffusive particles can exhibit dipole and quadrupole anisotropy induced by the fluid inertial and shear force, respectively. These…

A Three-component Model for Cosmic-ray Spectrum and Dipole Anisotropy

Yiran Zhang, Siming Liu, Houdun Zeng

Using a three-component, multi-scale diffusion model, we show that the cosmic-ray (CR) proton and helium spectra and the dipole anisotropy can be explained with reasonable paramete…

Observational Signatures of Tearing Instability in the Current Sheet of a Solar Flare

Lei Lu, Li Feng, Alexander Warmuth +7

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process converting magnetic energy into not only plasma energy but also particle energy in various astrophysical phenomena. In this…
