Rapid Energy Dissipation by Colliding Waves in Strongly Magnetized Plasmas
Tianshu Wu, Xinyu Li, Yangyang Cai
Rapid dissipation of magnetic energy in highly magnetized environments around neutron stars and black holes is a key open question in high-energy astrophysics. We develop a general…

Inverse Transfer in Non-helical 2D Collisionless Magnetic Turbulence: Island-Merger Picture with Kinetic Effects
Yangyang Cai, Hongzhe Zhou, Yosuke Mizuno
Magnetic inverse transfer is often invoked to connect small-scale magnetic-field generation to larger coherence scales in high-energy and cosmological plasmas. The underlying magne…
