PIC simulations of nonrelativistic high-Mach-number oblique shocks propagating in a turbulent medium
Karol Fulat, Eloise Moore, Mahmoud Alawashra +4
Collisionless shocks are common in astrophysical systems and stand as sites of particle acceleration. While particles at perpendicular shocks may not return to the upstream region,…
Generation of Whistler Waves by Reflected Electrons and Their Self-Confinement at Quasi-Perpendicular Shocks
Ruolin Wang, Takanobu Amano
We investigate the mechanism of whistler-mode wave generation by shock-reflected electrons at quasi-perpendicular collisionless shocks. By employing Liouville mapping to construct…
Saturation Level of Ion Weibel Instability and Isotropization Length Scale in Electron-Ion Weibel-Mediated Shocks
Taiki Jikei, Takanobu Amano
Ion Weibel instability is considered to be the dominant physics for the dissipation in high-Mach number astrophysical shocks such as supernova remnant shocks and gamma-ray burst sh…
Quasi-perpendicular shocks of galaxy clusters in hybrid kinetic simulations: The structure of the shocks
S. S. Boula, J. Niemiec, T. Amano +1
Context: Cosmic ray acceleration in galaxy clusters is still an ongoing puzzle, with relativistic electrons forming radio relics at merger shocks and emitting synchrotron radiation…
Electron acceleration in a nonrelativistic shock with very high Alfvén Mach number
Y. Matsumoto, T. Amano, M. Hoshino
Electron acceleration associated with various plasma kinetic instabilities in a nonrelativistic, very-high-Alfvén Mach-number () shock is revealed by means of a two-di…
