Secondary drift-driven instabilities in the presence of a parallel-propagating electromagnetic ion cyclotron wave and cold multi-component ions
Opal Issan, Patrick Kilian, Vadim Roytershteyn +2
Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are commonly observed in Earth's inner magnetosphere, particularly during geomagnetic storms driven by anisotropic ring-current protons.…
Turbulent transport in 2D collisionless guide field reconnection
P. A. Muñoz, J. Büchner, P. Kilian
Transport in collisionless plasmas is usually called anomalous, being due to the interaction between the particles and the self-generated turbulence by their collective interaction…
Gyrokinetic and kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of guide-field reconnection. I: Macroscopic effects of the electron flows
P. A. Muñoz, D. Told, P. Kilian +2
In this work, we compare gyrokinetic (GK) and fully kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of magnetic reconnection in the limit of strong guide field. In particular, we analyz…
Instabilities of collisionless current sheets revisited: the role of anisotropic heating
P. A. Muñoz, P. Kilian, J. Büchner
In this work, we investigate the influence of the anisotropic heating on the spontaneous instability and evolution of thin Harris-type collisionless current sheets, embedded in ant…
