Ion Temperature Anisotropy Limits from Magnetic Curvature Scattering in Magnetotail Reconnection Jets
Louis Richard, Anton V. Artemyev, Cecilia Norgren +3
In collisionless plasmas, relaxation of the deviations of ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs) from local thermodynamic equilibrium occurs through particle interactions with…
Upper Limit of Electron Energization in the Near-Earth Plasma Sheet during Substorm Injections
Weiqin Sun, Xiao-Jia Zhang, Anton V. Artemyev +5
The Earth's magnetotail, located on the night side of the magnetosphere, is a dynamic region where magnetic field energy is released and converted into plasma heating, particle acc…
Exploring the Magnetotail from Low Altitudes: Evolution of Energetic Electron Flux During the Substorm Growth Phase
Weiqin Sun, Xiao-Jia Zhang, Anton V. Artemyev +3
The magnetospheric substorm, which plays a crucial role in flux and energy transport across Earth's magnetosphere, features the formation of a thin, elongated current sheet in the…
Plasma refilling of the lunar wake: plasma-vacuum interactions, electrostatic shocks, and electromagnetic instabilities
Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos, Terry Z. Liu +3
A plasma void forms downstream of the Moon when the solar wind impacts the lunar surface. This void gradually refills as the solar wind passes by, forming the lunar wake. We invest…
Excitation of whistler-mode waves by an electron temperature anisotropy in a laboratory plasma
Donglai Ma, Xin An, Jia Han +6
Naturally-occurring whistler-mode waves in near-Earth space play a crucial role in accelerating electrons to relativistic energies and scattering them in pitch angle, driving their…
Non-Maxwellianity of Ion Velocity Distributions in the Earth's Magnetosheath
Louis Richard, Sergio Servidio, Ida Svenningsson +6
We analyze the deviations from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) of the ion velocity distribution function (iVDF) in collisionless plasma turbulence. Using data from the Magnet…
