Slow Cosmic-Ray Diffusion in Supersonic and Super-Alfvénic Turbulence
Yue Hu
Extended TeV-PeV gamma-ray halo observations imply cosmic-ray (CR) diffusion that is both substantially slower than the Galactic mean and only weakly anisotropic, despite the prese…
Plasmoid-Mediated 2D Magnetic Reconnection in Partially Ionized Plasmas
Yue Hu, Siyao Xu, Grzegorz Kowal +3
Magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas is an important channel for energy release. While the plasmoid instability is well characterized in 2D fully ionized plasmas, its…
Reconnection-Driven Turbulent Fluctuations in the Magnetically Dominated Collisionless Regime
Yue Hu, Luca Comisso, Lorenzo Sironi +1
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that converts magnetic energy into bulk flow energy, thermal energy, and nonthermal particle acceleration. Despite its importa…
Turbulence Mode Decomposition and Anisotropy in Magnetically Dominated Collisionless Plasmas
Samuel T. Sebastian, Siyao Xu, Yue Hu +3
We use the 3D fully kinetic simulation to study different turbulence modes and turbulence anisotropy of relativistic turbulence in magnetically dominated collisionless plasmas. We…
Mode Energy Partition in Partially Ionized Compressible MHD Turbulence
Yue Hu
We investigate how neutral-ion collisional damping modifies the spectral properties and energy partition of compressible MHD turbulence using a suite of 3D two-fluid simulations. B…
The JWST Galactic Center Survey -- A White Paper
Rainer Schoedel, Steve Longmore, Jonny Henshaw +111
The inner hundred parsecs of the Milky Way hosts the nearest supermassive black hole, largest reservoir of dense gas, greatest stellar density, hundreds of massive main and post ma…
