Bipolar Electric Field Signatures of Reconnection Separatrices for a Hydrogen Plasma at Realistic Guide Fields
G. Lapenta, S. Markidis, A. Divin +2
In preparation for the MMS mission we ask the question: how common are bipolar signatures linked to the presence of electron holes along separatrices emanating from reconnection re…
Kinetic simulations of magnetic reconnection in presence of a background O+ population
Stefano Markidis, Giovanni Lapenta, Lapo Bettarini +3
Particle-in-Cell simulations of magnetic reconnection with an H+ current sheet and a mixed background plasma of H+ and O+ ions are completed using physical mass ratios. Four main r…
Buneman instability in a magnetized current-carrying plasma with velocity shear
H. Che, M. V. Goldman, D. L. Newman
Buneman instability is often driven in magnetic reconnection. Understanding how velocity shear in the beams driving the Buneman instability affects the growth and saturation of wav…
