Interplay Between Anisotropy- and Skewness-driven Whistler Instabilities in the Solar Wind under the Core-Strahlo model
Bea Zenteno-Quinteros, Pablo S Moya, Marian Lazar +2
Temperature anisotropy and field-aligned skewness are commonly observed non-thermal features in electron velocity distributions in the solar wind. These characteristics can act as…
Skew-Kappa distribution functions & whistler-heat-flux instability in the solar wind: the core-strahlo model
Bea Zenteno-Quinteros, Adolfo F. Viñas, Pablo S. Moya
Electron velocity distributions in the solar wind are known to have field-aligned skewness, which has been characterized by the presence of secondary populations such as the halo a…
Kinetic Theory and Fast Wind Observations of the Electron Strahl
Konstantinos Horaites, Stanislav Boldyrev, Lynn B. Wilson +2
We develop a model for the strahl population in the solar wind -- a narrow, low-density and high-energy electron beam centered on the magnetic field direction. Our model is based o…
Energetic Particle Pressure at Interplanetary Shocks: STEREO-A Observations
D. Lario, R. B. Decker, E. C. Roelof +1
We study periods of elevated energetic particle intensities observed by STEREO-A when the partial pressure exerted by energetic (83 keV) protons () is larger than the…
Dissipation of parallel and oblique Alfvén-cyclotron waves: implications for minor ion heating in the solar wind
Y. G. Maneva, Adolfo F. Viñas, Pablo S. Moya +2
We perform 2.5D hybrid simulations with massless fluid electrons and kinetic particle-in-cell ions to study the temporal evolution of ion temperatures, temperature anisotropies and…
Ion Heating in Inhomogeneous Expanding Solar Wind Plasma: The Role of Parallel and Oblique Ion-Cyclotron Waves
N. Ozak, L. Ofman, A. -F. Viñas
Remote sensing observations of coronal holes show that heavy ions are hotter than protons and their temperature is anisotropic. In-situ observations of fast solar wind streams prov…
