Minor Ions as a Diagnostic of Solar Wind Heating: Inverted Mass-to-Charge Scaling in Imbalanced Turbulence

Michael F. Zhang, Evan L. Yerger, Matthew W. Kunz +1

Alfvénic turbulence is vital to powering the solar wind and corona, yet eludes a comprehensive understanding of the kinetic processes by which it dissipates. Minor ions are sensiti…

Galactic echoes

Rimpei Chiba, Jupiter Ding, Chris Hamilton +2

Gaia has revealed a variety of substructures in the phase space of stars in the Solar neighborhood, including the vertical `Snail' in space. Such substructures are often…

Thermodynamics and collisionality in firehose-susceptible high- plasmas

A. F. A. Bott, M. W. Kunz, E. Quataert +2

We study the evolution of collisionless plasmas that, due to their macroscopic evolution, are susceptible to the firehose instability, using both analytic theory and hybrid-kinetic…

Self-organization in collisionless, high- turbulence

S. Majeski, M. W. Kunz, J. Squire

The MHD equations, as a collisional fluid model that remains in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), have long been used to describe turbulence in myriad space and astrophysical…

Microphysically modified magnetosonic modes in collisionless, high- plasmas

Stephen Majeski, Matthew W. Kunz, Jonathan Squire

With the support of hybrid-kinetic simulations and analytic theory, we describe the nonlinear behaviour of long-wavelength non-propagating (NP) modes and fast magnetosonic waves in…
