Generation of sub-ion scale magnetic holes from electron shear flow instabilities in plasma turbulence
Giuseppe Arrò, Francesco Pucci, Francesco Califano +2
Magnetic holes (MHs) are coherent structures associated with strong magnetic field depressions in magnetized plasmas. They are observed in many astrophysical environments at a wide…
Role of FLR effects in magnetopause equilibrium
Giulio Ballerini, Gerard Belmont, Laurence Rezeau +1
The Earth magnetopause, when sufficiently plane and stationary at a local scale, can be considered as a "quasi-tangential" discontinuity, since the normal component of the magnetic…
Characterizing current structures in 3D hybrid-kinetic simulations of plasma turbulence
Manuela Sisti, Sid Fadanelli, Silvio Sergio Cerri +3
In space and astrophysical plasmas turbulence leads to the development of coherent structures characterized by a strong current density and important magnetic shears. Using hybrid-…
Electron acceleration driven by the lower-hybrid-drift instability: an extended quasilinear model
F. Lavorenti, P. Henri, F. Califano +2
Density inhomogeneities are ubiquitous in space and astrophysical plasmas, in particular at contact boundaries between different media. They often correspond to regions that exhibi…
Bridging hybrid- and full-kinetic models with Landau-fluid electrons: I. 2D magnetic reconnection
Francesco Finelli, Silvio S. Cerri, Francesco Califano +4
Magnetic reconnection (MR) plays a fundamental role in plasma dynamics under many different conditions, from space and astrophysical environments to laboratory devices. High-resolu…
Detecting Reconnection Events in Kinetic Vlasov Hybrid Simulations Using Clustering Techniques
Manuela Sisti, Francesco Finelli, Giorgio Pedrazzi +3
Kinetic turbulence in magnetized space plasmas has been extensively studied via in situ observations, numerical simulations and theoretical models. In this context, a key point con…
