Formation and Evolution of Pair-Alfvén Shocks with PIC Simulations
John Daniel Riordan, Mark E. Dieckmann, Asaf Pe'er
We consider the recently discovered \emph{pair-Alfvén shock wave} occurring in collisionless electron-positron plasmas. We perform a series of Particle-In-Cell studies in one and t…
Three-dimensional structure and stability of discontinuities between unmagnetized pair plasma and magnetized electron-proton plasma
M E Dieckmann, D Folini, M Falk +3
We study with a 3D PIC simulation discontinuities between an electron-positron pair plasma and magnetized electrons and protons. A pair plasma is injected at one simulation boundar…
Two-dimensional particle simulation of the boundary between a hot pair plasma and magnetized electrons and protons: out-of-plane magnetic field
M E Dieckmann, D Folini, R Walder +2
By means of a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation, we study the interaction between a uniform magnetized ambient electron-proton plasma at rest and an unmagnetized pair plasma, which…
Effects of radiative losses on the relativistic jets of high-mass microquasars
A. Charlet, R. Walder, A. Marcowith +3
Context. Relativistic jets are ubiquitous in astrophysics. High Mass Microquasars (HMMQs) are useful labs to study such jets, as they are relatively close and evolve over observabl…
Collisionless Rayleigh-Taylor-like instability of the boundary between a hot pair plasma and an electron-proton plasma: the undular mode
M E Dieckmann, M Falk, D Folini +4
We study with a two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation the stability of a discontinuity or piston, which separates an electron-positron cloud from a cooler electron-proton pla…
Change of a Weibel-type to an Alfvénic shock in pair plasma by upstream waves
M E Dieckmann, J D Riordan, A Pe'er
We examine with particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations how a parallel shock in pair plasma reacts to upstream waves, which are driven by escaping downstream particles. Initially, the s…
