Nonrelativistic parallel shocks in unmagnetized and weakly magnetized plasmas
Jacek Niemiec, Martin Pohl, Antoine Bret +1
We present results of 2D3V particle-in-cell simulations of non-relativistic plasma collisions with absent or parallel large-scale magnetic field for parameters applicable to the co…
CfA Plasma Talks
Antoine Bret
Notes from a series of 13 one hour (or more) lectures on Plasma Physics given to Ramesh Narayan' research group at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, between January…
PIC simulation of a thermal anisotropy-driven Weibel instability in a circular rarefaction wave
M. E. Dieckmann, G. Sarri, G. C. Murphy +6
The expansion of an initially unmagnetized planar rarefaction wave has recently been shown to trigger a thermal anisotropy-driven Weibel instability (TAWI), which can generate magn…
Could Cosmic Rays Affect Instabilities in the Transition Layer of Nonrelativistic Collisionless Shocks?
Thomas Stroman, Martin Pohl, Jacek Niemiec +1
There is an observational correlation between astrophysical shocks and non-thermal particle distributions extending to high energies. As a first step toward investigating the possi…
