Stochastic Heating in the Sub-Alfvénic Solar Wind
Trevor A. Bowen, Tamar Ervin, Alfred Mallet +7
Collisionless dissipation of turbulence is important for heating plasmas in astrophysical, space physics, and laboratory environments, controlling energy, momentum and particle tra…
Electron Influence on the Parallel Proton Firehose Instability in 10-Moment, Multi-Fluid Simulations
Jada Walters, Kristopher G. Klein, Emily Lichko +2
Instabilities driven by pressure anisotropy play a critical role in modulating the energy transfer in space and astrophysical plasmas. For the first time, we simulate the evolution…
Extreme heating of minor ions in imbalanced solar-wind turbulence
Michael F. Zhang, Matthew W. Kunz, Jonathan Squire +1
Minor ions in the solar corona are heated to extreme temperatures, far in excess of those of the electrons and protons that comprise the bulk of the plasma. These highly non-therma…
