Cosmic-ray confinement in radio bubbles by micromirrors
Robert J. Ewart, Patrick Reichherzer, Archie F. A. Bott +2
Radio bubbles, ubiquitous features of the intracluster medium around active galactic nuclei, are known to rise buoyantly for multiple scale heights through the intracluster medium…
Critical magnetic Reynolds number of the turbulent dynamo in collisionless plasmas
Radhika Achikanath Chirakkara, Amit Seta, Christoph Federrath +1
The intracluster medium of galaxy clusters is an extremely hot and diffuse, nearly collisionless plasma, which hosts dynamically important magnetic fields of streng…
Local models of two-temperature accretion disc coronae. II. Ion thermal conduction and the absence of disc evaporation
Christopher J. Bambic, Eliot Quataert, Matthew W. Kunz +1
We use local stratified shearing-box simulations with magnetic field-aligned thermal conduction to study an idealized model of the coupling between a cold, radiatively efficient ac…
Magnetogenesis in a collisionless plasma: from Weibel instability to turbulent dynamo
Muni Zhou, Vladimir Zhdankin, Matthew W. Kunz +2
We report on a first-principles numerical and theoretical study of plasma dynamo in a fully kinetic framework. By applying an external mechanical force to an initially unmagnetized…
HelioSwarm: A Multipoint, Multiscale Mission to Characterize Turbulence
Kristopher G. Klein, Harlan Spence, Olga Alexandrova +47
HelioSwarm (HS) is a NASA Medium-Class Explorer mission of the Heliophysics Division designed to explore the dynamic three-dimensional mechanisms controlling the physics of plasma…
Triggering tearing in a forming current sheet with the mirror instability
Himawan W. Winarto, Matthew W. Kunz
We study the time-dependent formation and evolution of a current sheet (CS) in a magnetized, collisionless, high-beta plasma using hybrid-kinetic particle-in-cell simulations. An i…
