Magnetic Pumping: Plasma Heating to Particle Acceleration
Mikhail Malkov, Immanuel Jebaraj
One of the earliest mechanisms proposed for plasma heating was magnetic pumping (MP). However, its significance for astrophysical phenomena, including particle acceleration, has ye…
Flat Spectra of Energetic Particles in Interplanetary Shock Precursors
Mikhail Malkov, Joe Giacalone, Fan Guo
The observed energy spectra of accelerated particles at interplanetary shocks often do not match the diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) theory predictions. In some cases, the parti…
Cosmic Ray Confinement and Transport Models for Probing their Putative Sources
M. A. Malkov
Recent efforts in cosmic ray (CR) confinement and transport theory are discussed. Three problems are addressed as being crucial for understanding the present day observations and t…
Cosmic Ray Transport with Magnetic Focusing and the "Telegraph" model
Mikhail Malkov, Roald Sagdeev
Cosmic rays (CR), constrained by scattering on magnetic irregularities, are believed to propagate diffusively. But a well-known defect of diffusive approximation whereby some of th…
Collisionless shocks in partly ionized plasma with cosmic rays: microphysics of non-thermal components
A. M. Bykov, M. A. Malkov, J. C. Raymond +2
In this review we discuss some observational aspects and theoretical models of astrophysical collisionless shocks in partly ionized plasma with the presence of non-thermal componen…
