Magnetic pumping as a source of particle heating and power-law distributions in the solar wind
E. Lichko, J. Egedal, W. Daughton +1
Based on the rate of expansion of the solar wind, the plasma should cool rapidly as a function of distance to the Sun. Observations show this is not the case. In this work, a magne…
Energy transfer, pressure tensor and heating of kinetic plasma
Y. Yang, W. H. Matthaeus, T. N. Parashar +6
Kinetic plasma turbulence cascade spans multiple scales ranging from macroscopic fluid flow to sub-electron scales. Mechanisms that dissipate large scale energy, terminate the iner…
Enhanced Electron Mixing and Heating in 3D Asymmetric Reconnection at the Earth's Magnetopause
Ari Le, William Daughton, Li-Jen Chen +1
Electron heating and mixing during asymmetric reconnection are studied with a 3D kinetic simulation that matches plasma parameters from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft o…
