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…
Parallel Collisionless Shocks in strongly Magnetized Electron-Ion Plasma. I. Temperature anisotropies
Mohamad Shalaby, Antoine Bret, Federico Fraschetti
Collisionless electron-ion shocks are fundamental to astrophysical plasmas, yet their behavior in strong magnetic fields remains poorly understood. Using Particle-in-Cell (PIC) sim…
Oscillations of subcritical fast magnetosonic shock boundaries caused by shock reformation
M E Dieckmann, A Bret, D Folini +1
The evolution of a deformed subcritical fast magnetosonic shock front is compared between two two-dimensional PIC simulations with different orientations of the magnetic field rela…
PIC simulations of stable surface waves on a subcritical fast magnetosonic shock front
M E Dieckmann, C Huete, F Cobos +4
We study with particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations the stability of fast magnetosonic shocks. They expand across a collisionless plasma and an orthogonal magnetic field that is align…
Electrostatic and magnetic instabilities in the transition layer of a collisionless weakly relativistic pair shock
M E Dieckmann, A Bret
Energetic electromagnetic emissions by astrophysical jets like those that are launched during the collapse of a massive star and trigger gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are partially attri…
Emergence of MHD structures in a collisionless PIC simulation plasma
M E Dieckmann, D Folini, R Walder +5
The expansion of a dense plasma into a dilute plasma across an initially uniform perpendicular magnetic field is followed with a one-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation o…
