The Heating of Thermal Electrons in Fast Collisionless Shocks: The Integral Role of Cosmic Rays

Cara E. Rakowski, J. Martin Laming, Parviz Ghavamian

Understanding the heating of electrons to quasi-thermal energies at collisionless shocks has broad implications for plasma astrophysics. It directly impacts the interpretation of X…
