Kinetic Modeling of Magnetospheres
Stefano Markidis, Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Gabor Toth +4
This paper presents the state of the art of kinetic modeling techniques for simulating plasma kinetic dynamics in magnetospheres. We describe the critical numerical techniques for…
Turbulent energization of electron power law tails during magnetic reconnection
Giovanni Lapenta, Jean Berchem, Mostafa El Alaoui +1
Earth's magnetotail is an excellent laboratory to study the interplay of reconnection and turbulence in determining electron energization. The process of formation of a power law t…
Particle-In-Cell simulation of whistler heat flux instabilities in the solar wind: heat flux regulation and electron halo formation
A. Micera, A. N. Zhukov, R. A. López +4
We present results of two-dimensional fully kinetic Particle-In-Cell simulation in order to shed light on the role of whistler waves in the scattering of strahl electrons and in th…
Domain of Influence analysis: implications for Data Assimilation in space weather forecasting
Dimitrios Millas, Maria Elena Innocenti, Brecht Laperre +3
Solar activity, ranging from the background solar wind to energetic coronal mass ejections (CMEs), is the main driver of the conditions in the interplanetary space and in the terre…
Automatic classification of plasma regions in near-Earth space with supervised machine learning: application to Magnetospheric Multi Scale 2016-2019 observations
Hugo Breuillard, Romain Dupuis, Alessandro Retino +3
The proper classification of plasma regions in near-Earth space is crucial to perform unambiguous statistical studies of fundamental plasma processes such as shocks, magnetic recon…
Statistical Properties of Turbulent Fluctuations Associated with Electron-only Magnetic Reconnection
Giuseppe Arrò, Francesco Califano, Giovanni Lapenta
Context: Recent satellite measurements in the turbulent magnetosheath of Earth have given evidence of an unusual reconnection mechanism that is driven exclusively by electrons. Thi…
