Geoelectric Field Caused by Flux Transfer Events in an Ionosphere-Coupled Vlasiator Simulation
Konstantinos Horaites, Markku Alho, Yann Pfau-Kempf +10
We report on the relationship between flux transfer events (FTEs) at Earth's magnetopause and the geoelectric field that is induced near the FTEs' magnetic footpoints. We study thi…
Influence of Solar Sails on Magnetic Field Measurements in Space Plasmas
Konstantinos Horaites, Juan V. Rodriguez, Ying Liu
Solar sail technology is ready to be deployed in a satellite mission carrying a science-grade magnetometer. In preparation for such a mission, it is essential to characterize the i…
First 3D hybrid-Vlasov global simulation of auroral proton precipitation and comparison with satellite observations
Maxime Grandin, Thijs Luttikhuis, Markus Battarbee +15
The precipitation of charged particles from the magnetosphere into the ionosphere is one of the crucial coupling mechanisms between these two regions of geospace and is associated…
The Heliospheric Ambipolar Potential Inferred from Sunward-Propagating Halo Electrons
Konstantinos Horaites, Stanislav Boldyrev
We provide evidence that the sunward-propagating half of the solar wind electron halo distribution evolves without scattering in the inner heliosphere. We assume the particles cons…
Observations of Energized Electrons in the Martian Magnetosheath
K. Horaites, L. Andersson, S. J. Schwartz +5
This observational study demonstrates that the magnitude and location of energization of electrons in the Martian magnetosheath is more complex than previous studies suggest. Elect…
Kinetic theory of the electron strahl in the solar wind
Stanislav Boldyrev, Konstantinos Horaites
We develop a kinetic theory for {the electron strahl, a beam of energetic electrons which propagate} from the sun along the Parker-spiral-shaped magnetic field lines. By assuming a…
Electron Strahl and Halo Formation in the Solar Wind
Konstantinos Horaites, Stanislav Boldyrev, Mikhail V. Medvedev
We propose a kinetic model describing the formation of the strahl and halo electron populations in the solar wind. We demonstrate that the suprathermal electrons propagating from t…
Stability Analysis of Core-Strahl Electron Distributions in the Solar Wind
Konstantinos Horaites, Patrick Astfalk, Stanislav Boldyrev +1
In this work, we analyze the kinetic stability of a solar wind electron distribution composed of core and strahl subpopulations. The core is modeled by a drifting Maxwellian distri…
Kinetic Theory and Fast Wind Observations of the Electron Strahl
Konstantinos Horaites, Stanislav Boldyrev, Lynn B. Wilson +2
We develop a model for the strahl population in the solar wind -- a narrow, low-density and high-energy electron beam centered on the magnetic field direction. Our model is based o…
