Earth's Alfvén wings driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Li-Jen Chen, Daniel Gershman, Brandon Burkholder +33
We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub-Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock-like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the mag…
Scattering of energetic electrons by heat-flux-driven whistlers in flares
G. T. Roberg-Clark, O. V. Agapitov, J. F. Drake +1
The scattering of electrons by heat-flux-driven whistler waves is explored with a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation relevant to the transport of energetic electrons in flares. The…
The formation of magnetic depletions and flux annihilation due to reconnection in the heliosheath
J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak, M. Opher +1
The misalignment of the solar rotation axis and the magnetic axis of the Sun produces a periodic reversal of the Parker spiral magnetic field and the sectored solar wind. The compr…
The Effects of Turbulence on Three-Dimensional Magnetic Reconnection at the Magnetopause
L. Price, M. Swisdak, J. F. Drake +3
Two- and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of a recent encounter of the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) with an electron diffusion region at the magnetopause a…
Nonlinear Development of Streaming Instabilities In Strongly Magnetized Plasmas
H. Che, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak +1
The nonlinear development of streaming instabilities in the current layers formed during magnetic reconnection with a guide field is explored. Theory and 3-D particle-in-cell simul…
The Transition from Anti-Parallel to Component Magnetic Reconnection
M. Swisdak, J. F. Drake, M. A. Shay +1
We study the transition between anti-parallel and component collisionless magnetic reconnection with 2D particle-in-cell simulations. The primary finding is that a guide field \app…
