Quasilinear Wave "Reflection" Due to Proton Heating by an Imbalanced Turbulent Cascade
Philip A. Isenberg, Bernard J. Vasquez, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +1
We investigate the quasilinear effects of the resonant wave-particle interaction under conditions of imbalanced turbulent heating in the collisionless coronal hole. We find that ve…
Temperature anisotropy instabilities driven by intermittent velocity shears in the solar wind
Simon Opie, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher H. K. Chen +5
Where and under what conditions the transfer of energy between electromagnetic fields and particles takes place in the solar wind remains an open question. We investigate the condi…
A Kinetic Model of Solar Wind Generation and Heating by Kinetic Alfvén Wave Turbulence
Philip A. Isenberg, Bernard J. Vasquez
We present results from a kinetic model of collisionless gyrotropic coronal hole protons heated by cyclotron and Landau resonant dissipation of critically balanced kinetic Alfvén w…
The effect of variations in magnetic field direction from turbulence on kinetic-scale instabilities
Simon Opie, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher H. K. Chen +2
At kinetic scales in the solar wind, instabilities transfer energy from particles to fluctuations in the electromagnetic fields while restoring plasma conditions towards thermodyna…
Turbulence Driving by Interstellar Pickup Ions in the Outer Solar Wind
Philip A. Isenberg, Bernard J. Vasquez, Charles W. Smith
We revisit the question of how the unstable scattering of interstellar pickup ions (PUIs) may drive turbulence in the outer solar wind, and why the energy released into fluctuation…
Conditions for proton temperature anisotropy to drive instabilities in the solar wind
Simon Opie, Daniel Verscharen, Christopher H. K. Chen +2
Using high-resolution data from Solar Orbiter, we investigate the plasma conditions necessary for the proton temperature anisotropy driven mirror-mode and oblique firehose instabil…
