Physics of Circular Polarized Ion-Scale Waves in Hybrid Simulations of Alfvénic Fluctuations
Hai Yang Harry Qian, Trevor A. Bowen, Carlos A. Gonzalez +5
Ion cyclotron waves (ICW) and fast magnetosonic/whistler waves (FMW) are fundamental electromagnetic modes at ion kinetic scales, yet their generation mechanisms and roles in plasm…

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…
