Astrophysical gyrokinetics: Turbulence in pressure-anisotropic plasmas at ion scales and beyond
Matthew W. Kunz, Ian G. Abel, Kristopher G. Klein +1
We present a theoretical framework for describing electromagnetic kinetic turbulence in a multi-species, magnetized, pressure-anisotropic plasma. Turbulent fluctuations are assumed…
Nature of stochastic ion heating in the solar wind: testing the dependence on plasma beta and turbulence amplitude
Daniel Vech, Kristopher G. Klein, Justin C. Kasper
The solar wind undergoes significant heating as it propagates away from the Sun; the exact mechanisms responsible for this heating are not yet fully understood. We present for the…
Spatially Localized Particle Energization by Landau Damping in Current Sheets Produced by Strong Alfven Wave Collisions
Gregory G. Howes, Andrew J. McCubbin, Kristopher G. Klein
Understanding the removal of energy from turbulent fluctuations in a magnetized plasma and the consequent energization of the constituent plasma particles is a major goal of heliop…
Diagnosing collisionless energy transfer using field-particle correlations: gyrokinetic turbulence
Kristopher G. Klein, Gregory G. Howes, Jason M. TenBarge
Determining the physical mechanisms that extract energy from turbulent fluctuations in weakly collisional magnetized plasmas is necessary for a more complete characterization of th…
Characterizing Fluid and Kinetic Instabilities using Field-Particle Correlations on Single-Point Time Series
Kristopher G Klein
A recently proposed technique correlating electric fields and particle velocity distributions is applied to single-point time series extracted from linearly unstable, electrostatic…
