Stability Analysis of the Proton Hammerhead Distribution Observed by Parker Solar Probe: Linear Theory and Fully Kinetic Simulations under Idealised Conditions
L. Pezzini, J. L. Verniero, F. Bacchini +3
The non-adiabatic heating of the slow Solar Wind (SW) remains an open problem, with wave--particle interactions as a primary candidate mechanism. Novel in situ Parker Solar Probe (…
Alpha Core-Beam Origin in Low- Solar Wind Plasma: Insights from Fully Kinetic Simulation
Luca Pezzini, Fabio Bacchini, Andrei N. Zhukov +2
In-situ observations of the fast solar wind in the inner-heliosphere show that minor ions and ion sub-populations often exhibit distinct drift velocities. Both alpha particles and…
A Kinetic Model of Solar Wind Acceleration Driven by Ambipolar Electric Potential and Velocity-Space Diffusion
Maximilien Péters de Bonhome, Viviane Pierrard, Fabio Bacchini
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations have revealed that most of the solar wind acceleration occurs very close to the Sun. This acceleration is partly due to the global electric po…
Fully Kinetic Simulations of Proton-Beam-Driven Instabilities from Parker Solar Probe Observations
Luca Pezzini, Andrei N. Zhukov, Fabio Bacchini +5
The expanding solar wind plasma ubiquitously exhibits anisotropic non-thermal particle velocity distributions. Typically, proton Velocity Distribution Functions (VDFs) show the pre…
Fundamental, Harmonic, and Third-harmonic Plasma Emission from Beam-plasma Instabilities: A First-principles Precursor for Astrophysical Radio Bursts
Fabio Bacchini, Alexander A. Philippov
Electromagnetic fundamental and harmonic emission is ubiquitously observed throughout the heliosphere, and in particular it is commonly associated with the occurrence of Type II an…
