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…
