Multi-Species Measurements of the Firehose and Mirror Instability Thresholds in the Solar Wind
C. H. K. Chen, L. Matteini, A. A. Schekochihin +5
The firehose and mirror instabilities are thought to arise in a variety of space and astrophysical plasmas, constraining the pressure anisotropies and drifts between particle speci…

Suppression of thermal conduction in a mirror-unstable plasma
S. V. Komarov, E. M. Churazov, M. W. Kunz +1
The ICM plasma is subject to firehose and mirror instabilities at scales of order the ion Larmor radius. The mirror instability generates fluctuations of magnetic-field strength $δ…
