Scaling of Particle Heating in Shocks and Magnetic Reconnection
Mitsuo Oka, Tai D. Phan, Marit Øieroset +4
Particles are heated efficiently through energy conversion processes such as shocks and magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma environments. While empirical scaling laws for…
Non-Maxwellianity of electron distributions near Earth's magnetopause
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, M. André +6
Plasmas in Earth's outer magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind are essentially collisionless. This means particle distributions are not typically in thermodynamic equilibriu…
The Dynamics of a High Mach Number Quasi-Perpendicular Shock: MMS Observations
H. Madanian, M. I. Desai, S. J. Schwartz +12
Shock parameters at Earth's bow shock in rare instances can approach the Mach numbers predicted at supernova remnants. We present our analysis of a high Alfvén Mach number ($M_A= 2…
Estimation of the electron density from spacecraft potential during high frequency electric field fluctuations
O. W. Roberts, R. Nakamura, K. Torkar +10
Spacecraft potential has often been used to infer electron density with much higher time resolution than is typically possible with plasma instruments. However, recently two studie…
