The Role of Magnetic Reconnection in Energizing Protons and Heavier Ions at the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Giulia Murtas, Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo +3
During near-Sun crossings of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS), Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed populations of high-energy protons and heavier ions indicating possible energiz…
The Enhancement of Ion Heating in Kinetic, Anti-Parallel Reconnection in the Presence of a Flow Shear
Colby C. Haggerty, Derek Sikorski, Michael A. Shay +4
We investigate the kinetic effects of upstream, magnetic field-aligned, flow shear on anti-parallel magnetic reconnection using 2.5D Particle-In-Cell simulations. Our results demon…
Kink instability of flux ropes in partially-ionised plasmas
Giulia Murtas, Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow
In the solar atmosphere, flux ropes are subject to current driven instabilities that are crucial in driving plasma eruptions, ejections and heating. A typical ideal magnetohydrodyn…
Compression Acceleration of Protons and Heavier Ions at the Heliospheric Current Sheet
Giulia Murtas, Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo
Recent observations by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) suggest that protons and heavier ions are accelerated to high energies by magnetic reconnection at the heliospheric current sheet (H…
