Non-linear dynamo waves in magnetized shear flows: a candidate mechanism for the solar cycle
Uddipan Banik
Large-scale magnetic reversals in planets, stars, and accretion disks require a non-linear theory coupling the magnetic field to its sustaining flow. We derive exact non-linear sol…
Non-thermal particle acceleration in multi-species kinetic plasmas: universal power-law distribution functions and temperature inversion in the solar corona
Uddipan Banik, Amitava Bhattacharjee
Non-thermal power-law distribution functions are ubiquitous in astrophysical, space, and laboratory kinetic plasmas, but their origin remains unclear. A related puzzle is the tempe…
Universal power-law distribution functions in an electromagnetic kinetic plasma: implications for the inverted temperature profile in the solar corona
Uddipan Banik, Amitava Bhattacharjee
We develop a self-consistent quasilinear theory for the relaxation of electromagnetic kinetic plasmas, and demonstrate that the mean distribution functions of both electrons and io…
Universal non-thermal power-law distribution functions from the self-consistent evolution of collisionless electrostatic plasmas
Uddipan Banik, Amitava Bhattacharjee, Wrick Sengupta
Distribution functions of collisionless systems are known to show non-thermal power law tails. Interestingly, collisionless plasmas in various physical scenarios, (e.g., the ion po…
