Simulation Models for Exploring Magnetic Reconnection
Michael Shay, Subash Adhikari, Naoki Beesho +22
Simulations have played a critical role in the advancement of our knowledge of magnetic reconnection. However, due to the inherently multiscale nature of reconnection, it is imposs…
Streaming instability in neutron star magnetospheres: No indication of soliton-like waves
Jan Benáček, Patricio A. Muñoz, Jörg Büchner +1
Coherent radiation of pulsars, magnetars, and fast radio bursts could, in theory, be interpreted as radiation from solitons and soliton-like waves. The solitons are meant to contai…
Proton and Helium Heating by Cascading Turbulence in a Low-beta Plasma
Zhaodong Shi, P. A. Muñoz, J. Büchner +1
How ions are energized and heated is a fundamental problem in the study of energy dissipation in magnetized plasmas. In particular, the heating of heavy ions (including ${}^{4}\mat…
Hybrid-Kinetic Approach: Inertial Electrons
Neeraj Jain, Patricio A. Muñoz, Jörg Büchner
Hybrid-kinetic simulations describe ion-scale kinetic phenomena in space plasmas by considering ions kinetically, i.e. as particles, while electrons are modelled as a fluid. Most o…
Reconstruction of Coronal Magnetic Fields Using a Poloidal-Toroidal Representation
Sibaek Yi, G. S. Choe, Kyung-Suk Cho +2
A new method for reconstruction of coronal magnetic fields as force-free fields (FFFs) is presented. Our method employs poloidal and toroidal functions to describe divergence-free…
Electron-to-ion bulk speed ratio as a parameter reflecting the occurrence of strong electron-dominated current sheets in the solar wind
Olga Khabarova, Jörg Büchner, Neeraj Jain +3
Current sheets (CSs) are preferred sites of magnetic reconnection and energy dissipation in collisionless astrophysical plasmas. Electric currents in them may be carried by both el…
