Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
Weakly magnetized, Hall dominated plasma Couette flow
K. Flanagan, J. Milhone, J. Egedal +5
A novel plasma equilibrium in the high-, Hall regime that produces centrally-peaked, high Mach number Couette flow is described. Flow is driven using a weak, uniform magnetic fi…
Mode Converting Alfvén Waves from Magnetic Reconnection Enhancing the Energy Source for the Aurora Borealis
Harsha Gurram, Jan Egedal, William Daughton
Previous studies have concluded that the Hall magnetic field structures generated during magnetic reconnection are carried away by kinetic Alfvén waves (KAW). Here we apply a kinet…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
A drift-kinetic method for obtaining gradients in plasma properties from single-point distribution function data
Blake A. Wetherton, Jan Egedal, Peter K. Montag +2
In this paper, we derive a new drift-kinetic method for estimating gradients in the plasma properties through a velocity space distribution at a single point. The gradients are int…
On the temperature of the solar wind
Stanislav Boldyrev, Cary Forest, Jan Egedal
Solar wind provides an example of a weakly collisional plasma expanding from a thermal source in the presence of spatially diverging magnetic field lines. Observations show that in…
