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…

Mixing the solar wind proton and electron scales. Theory and 2D-PIC simulations of firehose instability

R. A. López, A. Micera, M. Lazar +5

Firehose-like instabilities (FIs) are cited in multiple astrophysical applications. Of particular interest are the kinetic manifestations in weakly-collisional or even collisionles…

Transport coefficients enhanced by suprathermal particles in nonequilibrium heliospheric plasmas

Edin Husidic, Marian Lazar, Horst Fichtner +2

In heliospheric plasmas the transport of energy and particles is governed by various fluxes (e.g., heat flux) triggered by different forces, electromagnetic fields, and gradients i…

Generalized anisotropic -cookbook: 2D fitting of Ulysses electron data

Klaus Scherer, Edin Husidic, Marian Lazar +1

Observations in space plasmas reveal particle velocity distributions out of thermal equilibrium, with anisotropies (e.g., parallel drifts or/and different temperatures, $T_\paralle…

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…

The -cookbook: a novel generalizing approach to unify -like distributions for plasma particle modeling

Klaus Scherer, Edin Husidic, Marian Lazar +1

In the literature different so-called -distribution functions are discussed to fit and model the velocity (or energy) distributions of solar wind species, pickup ions or magneto…
