Emergence and Detection of Electron-Scale Current Sheets in Turbulence with MMS Observations and fully kinetic 3D simulations
Zachary Davis, Alexandros Chasepis, Colby Haggerty +2
The solar wind is characterized by turbulence, where a cascade produces intermittent current structures called current sheets (CS) that efficiently dissipate energy into the plasma…

Plasma Instabilities Dominate Radioactive Transients Magnetic Fields: The self-confinement of leptons in Type Ia and Core-Collapse Supernovae, and Kilonovae
Dhvanil D. Desai, Colby C. Haggerty, Benjamin J. Shappee +8
The light curves of radioactive transients, such as supernovae and kilonovae, are powered by the decay of radioisotopes, which release high-energy leptons through and d…

Suppression of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection in the High Ion , Strong Guide Field Limit
Carlos A. Giai, Colby C. Haggerty, Michael A. Shay +1
In magnetic reconnection, the ion bulk outflow speed and ion heating have been shown to be set by the available reconnecting magnetic energy, i.e., the energy stored in the reconne…
