Modeling complex plasma instabilities in space plasmas - Three-component electron formalism of heat-flux instabilities
Dustin L. Schröder, Marian Lazar, Horst Fichtner +2
Despite the fact that electrons observed in situ in space plasmas have three major components-the quasi-thermal core, suprathermal halo, and strahl-the analysis of instabilities tr…
Wave-particle equilibria with heavy ions in weakly collisional space plasmas
Nicolás Villarroel-Sepúlveda, Daniel Verscharen, Pablo S. Moya +2
Space plasmas are weakly collisional since characteristic time scales related to Coulomb collisions are much larger than those of Larmor gyration or wave--particle interactions. Th…
Quasi-linear approach of bi-Kappa distributed electrons with dynamic parameter. EMEC instability
Pablo S Moya, Roberto E Navarro, Marian Lazar +3
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the velocity-moment-based quasi-linear (QL) theory of waves and instabilities in plasmas with nonequilibrium velocity distrib…
Fully Kinetic Simulations of Proton-Beam-Driven Instabilities from Parker Solar Probe Observations
Luca Pezzini, Andrei N. Zhukov, Fabio Bacchini +5
The expanding solar wind plasma ubiquitously exhibits anisotropic non-thermal particle velocity distributions. Typically, proton Velocity Distribution Functions (VDFs) show the pre…
