Do we need to consider electron kinetic effects to properly model a planetary magnetosphere: the case of Mercury
Giovanni Lapenta, David Schriver, Raymond J. Walker +4
The magnetosphere of Mercury is studied using an implicit full particle in cell simulation (PIC). We use a hybrid simulation where ions are full particles and electrons are conside…
Turbulent energization of electron power law tails during magnetic reconnection
Giovanni Lapenta, Jean Berchem, Mostafa El Alaoui +1
Earth's magnetotail is an excellent laboratory to study the interplay of reconnection and turbulence in determining electron energization. The process of formation of a power law t…
On the origin of the crescent-shaped distributions observed by MMS at the magnetopause
G. Lapenta, J. Berchem, M. Zhou +12
MMS observations recently confirmed that crescent-shaped electron velocity distributions in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field occur in the electron diffusion region nea…
