First-principles measurement of ion and electron energization in collisionless accretion flow
Evgeny A. Gorbunov, Fabio Bacchini, Vladimir Zhdankin +3
We present the largest 3D Particle-in-Cell shearing-box simulations of turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability, for the first time employing the realistic proton-to-…
Scale Statistics of Current Sheets in Relativistic Collisionless Plasma Turbulence
Roberto F. Serrano, Joonas Nättilä, Vladimir Zhdankin
We analyze distributions of the spatial scales of coherent intermittent structures -- current sheets -- obtained from fully kinetic, two-dimensional simulations of relativistic pla…
Collisionless Magnetorotational Turbulence in Pair Plasmas: Steady-state Dynamics, Particle Acceleration, and Radiative Cooling
Fabio Bacchini, Vladimir Zhdankin, Evgeny A. Gorbunov +4
We present 3D fully kinetic shearing-box simulations of pair-plasma magnetorotational turbulence with unprecedented macro-to-microscopic scale separation. While retrieving the expe…
