Hybrid simulations of the proton beam instabilities in the young solar wind. The formation of hammerhead-like distributions
R. A. López, Shaaban M. Shaaban, M. Lazar +4
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations in the young solar wind reveal new properties of both plasma particle velocity distributions (VDs) and associated electromagnetic (EM) wave fl…
The aperiodic firehose instability of counter-beaming electrons in space plasmas
M. Lazar, R. A. López, P. S. Moya +2
Recent studies have revealed new unstable regimes of the counter-beaming electrons specific to hot and dilute plasmas from astrophysical scenarios. The (counter-)beaming electron f…
Comparing the counter-beaming and temperature anisotropy driven aperiodic electron firehose instabilities in collisionless plasma environments
Pablo S. Moya, Rodrigo A Lopez, Marian Lazar +2
The electron firehose instabilities are among the most studied kinetic instabilities, especially in the context of space plasmas, whose dynamics is mainly controlled by collisionle…
A new low-beta regime for unstable proton firehose modes in bi-Kappa distributed plasmas
S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar, R. F. Wimmer-Schweingruber +1
In the solar wind plasma an excess of kinetic temperature along the background magnetic field stimulates proton firehose modes to grow if the parallel plasma beta parameter is suff…
General dispersion properties of magnetized plasmas with drifting bi-Kappa distributions. DIS-K: DIspersion Solver for Kappa plasmas
R. A. López, S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar
Space plasmas are known to be out of (local) thermodynamic equilibrium, as observations show direct or indirect evidences of non-thermal velocity distributions of plasma particles.…
Particle-in-cell simulations of the whistler heat-flux instability in the solar wind conditions
R. A. López, S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar +4
In collision-poor plasmas from space, e.g., solar wind or stellar outflows, the heat-flux carried by the strahl or beaming electrons is expected to be regulated by the self-generat…
Particle-In-Cell simulations of the parallel proton firehose instability influenced by the electron temperature anisotropy in solar wind conditions
A. Micera, E. Boella, A. N. Zhukov +4
In situ observations of the solar wind show a limited level of particle temperature anisotropy with respect to the interplanetary magnetic field direction. Kinetic electromagnetic…
Beaming electromagnetic (or heat-flux) instabilities from the interplay with the electron temperature anisotropies
S. M. Shaaban, M. Lazar, P. H. Yoon +1
In space plasmas kinetic instabilities are driven by the beaming (drifting) components and/or the temperature anisotropy of charged particles. The heat-flux instabilities are known…
