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…
Turbulent Energy Conversion Associated with Kinetic Microinstabilities in Earth's Magnetosheath
Harry C. Lewis, Julia E. Stawarz, Lorenzo Matteini +6
Plasma in the terrestrial magnetosheath is characterised by very weak particle-particle collisions, so kinetic microinstabilities are thought to be responsible for regulating the t…
