Unveiling the Mixing and Transport Processes of Solar Wind and Planetary Ions in the Magnetopause Boundary Layer

Zhongwei Yang, Can Huang, Xiaocheng Guo +5

Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) vortices are widely observed in astrophysics and heliophysics, including at Jovian and terrestrial magnetopauses, the Martian sheath-ionosphere boundary, the…

Global explicit particle-in-cell simulations of the nonstationary bow shock and magnetosphere

Zhongwei Yang, Can Huang, Ying D. Liu +4

We carry out two-dimensional global particle-in-cell simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and a dipole field to study the formation of the bow shock and magnetosph…

The Mechanisms of Electron Acceleration During Multiple X Line Magnetic Reconnection with a Guide Field

Huanyu Wang, Quanming Lu, Can Huang +1

The interactions between magnetic islands are considered to play an important role in electron acceleration during magnetic reconnection. In this paper, two-dimensional (2-D) parti…

Impact of pickup ions on the shock front nonstationarity and energy dissipation of the heliospheric termination shock: Two-dimensional full particle simulations and comparison with Voyager 2 observations

Zhongwei Yang, Ying D. Liu, John D Richardson +3

The transition between the supersonic solar wind and the subsonic heliosheath, the termination shock (TS), was observed by Voyager 2 (V2) on 2007 August 31-September 1 at a distanc…

Plasmoid ejection and secondary current sheet generation from magnetic reconnection in laser-plasma interaction

Quan-Li Dong, Shou-Jun Wang, Quan-Ming Lu +21

Reconnection of the self-generated magnetic fields in laser-plasma interaction was first investigated experimentally by Nilson {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 255001 (2006)] by…
