Mildly relativistic magnetized shocks in electron-ion plasmas I. Electromagnetic shock structure
Arianna Ligorini, Jacek Niemiec, Oleh Kobzar +8
Mildly relativistic shocks in magnetized electron-ion plasmas are investigated with 2D kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of unprecedentedly high resolution and large scale for c…
Kinetic simulation of nonrelativistic perpendicular shocks of young supernova remnants. IV. Electron heating
Artem Bohdan, Martin Pohl, Jacek Niemiec +4
High Mach number collisionless shocks are found in planetary systems and supernova remnants (SNRs). Electrons are heated at these shocks to the temperature well above the Rankine-H…
Kinetic simulations of nonrelativistic perpendicular shocks of young supernova remnants. III. Magnetic reconnection
Artem Bohdan, Martin Pohl, Jacek Niemiec +4
Fully kinetic two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are used to study electron acceleration at high-Mach-number nonrelativistic perpendicular shocks. SNR shocks are mediated…
Observational Evidence for Stochastic Shock Drift Acceleration of Electrons at the Earth's Bow Shock
T. Amano, T. Katou, N. Kitamura +14
The first-order Fermi acceleration of electrons requires an injection of electrons into a mildly relativistic energy range. However, the mechanism of injection has remained a puzzl…
