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…

The Ambipolar electric field in multispecies plasma atmospheres: effects of alpha particles and stochastic heating
Luca Barbieri, Pascal Démoulin, Daniel Verscharen
We investigate stationary states of a collisionless, gravitationally stratified plasma atmosphere composed of electrons, protons, and alpha particles by extending Pannekoek--Rossel…

Temperature anisotropy instabilities of solar wind electrons with regularized Kappa-halos resolved with ALPS
Dustin L. Schröder, Horst Fichtner, Marian Lazar +2
Space plasmas in various astrophysical setups can often be both very hot and dilute, making them highly susceptible to waves and fluctuations, which are generally self-generated an…
