Density jump as a function of magnetic field strength for perpendicular collisionless shocks with anisotropic upstream pressure
Antoine Bret
Shock waves are common in astrophysical environments. On many occasions, they are collisionless, which means they occur in settings where the mean free path is much larger than the…
Density jump as a function of magnetic field strength for parallel collisionless shocks with anisotropic upstream pressure
Antoine Bret
The properties of collisionless shocks are frequently assessed in the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model. Yet, in a collisionless plasma, an ambient magnetic field can sustain a stab…
Density jump for oblique collisionless shocks in pair plasmas: allowed solutions
Antoine Bret, Ramesh Narayan
Shockwaves in plasma are usually dealt with using Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Yet, MHD entails the assumption of a short mean free path, which is not fulfilled in a collisionless p…
Density jump as a function of magnetic field for switch-on collisionless shocks in pair plasmas
Antoine Bret, Ramesh Narayan
The properties of collisionless shocks, like the density jump, are usually derived from magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), where isotropic pressures are assumed. Yet, in a collisionless p…
Quantum electrodynamic effects on counter-streaming instabilities in the whole \textbf{k} space
Antoine Bret
In a recent work [Bret, EPL \textbf{135} (2021) 35001], quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects were evaluated for the two-stream instability. It pertains to the growth of perturbatio…
Building a weak shockwave from linear modes
Antoine Bret, Ramesh Narayan
In shockwave theory, the density, velocity and pressure jumps are derived from the conservation equations. Here, we address the physics of a weak shock the other way around. We fir…
