Generation of sub-ion scale magnetic holes from electron shear flow instabilities in plasma turbulence

Giuseppe Arrò, Francesco Pucci, Francesco Califano +2

Magnetic holes (MHs) are coherent structures associated with strong magnetic field depressions in magnetized plasmas. They are observed in many astrophysical environments at a wide…

Advances in the Implementation of the Exactly Energy Conserving Semi-Implicit (ECsim) Particle in Cell Method

Giovanni Lapenta

The Energy Conserving semi-implicit method (ECsim), presented by Lapenta in 2017, is a Particle in Cell (PIC) algorithm for the simulation of plasmas. Energy conservation is achiev…

Anisotropic electron heating in turbulence-driven magnetic reconnection in the near-Sun solar wind

Luca Franci, Emanuele Papini, Alfredo Micera +5

We perform a high-resolution two-dimensional fully-kinetic numerical simulation of a turbulent plasma system with observation-driven conditions, in order to investigate the interpl…

Do we need to consider electron kinetic effects to properly model a planetary magnetosphere: the case of Mercury

Giovanni Lapenta, David Schriver, Raymond J. Walker +4

The magnetosphere of Mercury is studied using an implicit full particle in cell simulation (PIC). We use a hybrid simulation where ions are full particles and electrons are conside…

Kinetic heating by Alfvén waves in magnetic shears

Fabio Bacchini, Francesco Pucci, Francesco Malara +1

With first-principles kinetic simulations, we show that a large-scale Alfvén wave (AW) propagating in an inhomogeneous background decays into kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs), triggerin…
