Shear interaction and acceleration of a corotating stream detected by Parker Solar Probe

Andrea Verdini, Simone Landi, Emanuele Papini +4

Recent analysis of Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter data indicates that fluctuations energy is transferred to the bulk flow in fast streams of the solar wind at heliocent…

Solar Wind Proton Heating and its Effect on Temperature Anisotropy Evolution between 0.05 and 1 au

Etienne Berriot, Arnaud Zaslavsky, Olga Alexandrova +3

This study focuses on the radial evolution of the solar wind proton adiabatic invariants and temperature anisotropies in the inner heliosphere. More specifically, we study in-situ…

Tearing Driven Reconnection: Energy Conversion Involving Firehose Kinetic Instabilities (2D Hybrid Möbius Simulations)

Etienne Berriot, Petr Hellinger, Olga Alexandrova +2

This study focuses on energy conversion related to tearing-driven magnetic reconnection in the context of weakly collisional astrophysical plasmas. We present results from a two-di…

Ion-scale transition of plasma turbulence: Pressure-strain effect

Petr Hellinger, Victor Montagud-Camps, Luca Franci +4

We investigate properties of solar wind-like plasma turbulence using direct numerical simulations. We analyze the transition from large, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scales to the ion…

Spectral anisotropies and intermittency of plasma turbulence at ion kinetic scales

Simone Landi, Luca Franci, Emanuele Papini +3

By means of three dimensional high-resolution hybrid simulations we study the properties of the magnetic field spectral anisotropies near and beyond ion kinetic scales. By using bo…

Proton heating by pick-up ion driven cyclotron waves in the outer heliosphere: Hybrid expanding box simulations

Petr Hellinger, Pavel M. Travnicek

Using one-dimensional hybrid expanding box model we investigate properties of the solar wind in the outer heliosphere. We assume a proton-electron plasma with a strictly transverse…

Fire Hose instability driven by alpha particle temperature anisotropy

Lorenzo Matteini, Petr Hellinger, Steven Schwartz +1

We investigate properties of a solar wind-like plasma including a secondary alpha particle population exhibiting a parallel temperature anisotropy with respect to the background ma…

Anisotropy of third-order structure functions in MHD turbulence

Andrea Verdini, Roland Grappin, Petr Hellinger +2

The measure of the third-order structure function, Y, is employed in the solar wind to compute the cascade rate of turbulence. In the absence of a mean field B0=0, Y is expected to…
