First Principles Magnetohydrodynamical Theory for the Expanding Box Model: Effects on Expansion-Induced Alfvén Wave Reflection

Sebastián Saldivia, Nicolás Villarroel-Sepúlveda, Sebastián Echeverría-Veas +2

The Expanding Box Model (EBM) has been widely employed to simulate multiscale plasma phenomena in the expanding solar wind by transforming the MHD equations to a co-moving, non-ine…

Secondary Electron-Only Reconnection Driven by Large Scale Ion-Coupled Reconnection and Electron Kelvin-Helmholtz Instabilities in Hybrid Simulations of Solar Wind Turbulence

Joaquín Espinoza-Troni, Giuseppe Arrò, Francesco Califano +2

Electron-only reconnection (EREC) is a magnetic reconnection regime occurring within subion-scale current sheets (CSs), exhibiting only electron jets, without any ion outflows. ERE…

Knudsen number as a non-thermal parameter: possible origin of skewness in space plasma distributions

Iván Gallo-Méndez, Adolfo F. Viñas, Pablo S. Moya

Non-Maxwellian distributions and their origins in space plasma have attracted significant attention due to their prevalence and impact on various astrophysical and space-related ph…

Non-thermal plasma density redistribution in planetary magnetospheres due to ion-cyclotron waves

Joaquín Espinoza-Troni, Felipe A Asenjo, Pablo S Moya

Planetary magnetospheres exhibit diverse environments where Ultra-low frequency (ULF) pulsations induce nonlinear ponderomotive effects. Since suprathermal populations modeled by K…
