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…

Self-organization of local streamline structures and energy transfer rate in compressible plasma turbulence

Simone Benella, Virgilio Quattrociocchi, Emanuele Papini +4

We examine how local streamline topology and energy cascade rate self-organize in plasma turbulence for both compressible and incompressible regimes. Using a fully-compressible Hal…

Evolution of ion distribution functions in ionospheric plasmas perturbed by Alfvén waves

Dario Recchiuti, Luca Franci, Lorenzo Matteini +3

This study investigates ion kinetic effects during the parametric decay instability (PDI) of parallel-propagating Alfvén waves under plasma conditions characteristic of the Earth's…

The effects of expansion and turbulence on the interplanetary evolution of a magnetic cloud

Mattia Sangalli, Andrea Verdini, Simone Landi +1

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) represent the most extreme solar products, showing complex and dynamic structures when detected in situ. They are often preceded by a shock and carry…

A GPU-Accelerated Modern Fortran Version of the ECHO Code for Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics

Luca Del Zanna, Simone Landi, Lorenzo Serafini +2

The numerical study of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) plays a crucial role in high-energy astrophysics, but unfortunately is computationally demanding, given the complex p…

Temperature inversion in a confined plasma atmosphere: coarse-grained effect of temperature fluctuations at its base

Luca Barbieri, Emanuele Papini, Pierfrancesco Di Cintio +3

Prompted by the relevant problem of temperature inversion (i.e. gradient of density anti-correlated to the gradient of temperature) in astrophysics, we introduce a novel method to…
