The microphysics of collisionless shock waves
A. Marcowith, A. Bret, A. Bykov +12
Collisionless shocks, that is shocks mediated by electromagnetic processes, are customary in space physics and in astrophysics. They are to be found in a great variety of objects a…

PIC Simulations of the Effect of Velocity Space Instabilities on Electron Viscosity and Thermal Conduction
Mario Riquelme, Eliot Quataert, Daniel Verscharen
In low-collisionality plasmas, velocity-space instabilities are a key mechanism providing an effective collisionality for the plasma. We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to s…
