Anisotropic Heating and Parallel Heat Flux in Electron-only Magnetic Reconnection with Intense Guide Fields
Jincai Ren, Giuseppe Arrò, Maria Elena Innocenti +1
Electron-only reconnection is a process recently observed in the Earth's magnetosheath, where magnetic reconnection occurs at electron kinetic scales with only electrons involved.…
Fully Kinetic Simulations of Proton-Beam-Driven Instabilities from Parker Solar Probe Observations
Luca Pezzini, Andrei N. Zhukov, Fabio Bacchini +5
The expanding solar wind plasma ubiquitously exhibits anisotropic non-thermal particle velocity distributions. Typically, proton Velocity Distribution Functions (VDFs) show the pre…
Exactly energy-conserving electromagnetic Particle-in-Cell method in curvilinear coordinates
Joost Croonen, Luca Pezzini, Fabio Bacchini +1
In this paper, we introduce and discuss an exactly energy-conserving Particle-in-Cell method for arbitrary curvilinear coordinates. The flexibility provided by curvilinear coordina…
Multi-Beam Energy Moments of Compound Measured Ion Velocity Distributions
Martin V. Goldman, David. L. Newman, Jonathan P. Eastwood +3
Compound ion distributions, fi(v), have been measured by NASA's Magnetospheric Multi-Scale Mission (MMS) and have been found in reconnection simulations. A complex distribution, fi…
Multi-beam Energy Moments of Multibeam Particle Velocity Distributions
M. V. Goldman, D. L. Newman, J. P. Eastwood +1
High resolution electron and ion velocity distributions, f(v), which consist of N effectively disjoint beams, have been measured by NASA's Magnetospheric Multi-Scale Mission (MMS)…
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…
