Collisionless Larmor Coupling and Blob Formation in a Laser-Plasma Expanding into a Magnetized Ambient Plasma
Lucas Rovige, Robert S. Dorst, Ari Le +8
Collisionless Larmor coupling is a fundamental process in space and astrophysical plasmas that enables momentum transfer between an expanding plasma and a magnetized ambient medium…
On the Radiation Effects of Strontium Ions on Satellite Solar Cells in Low Earth Orbits
Yue Chen, Miles A. Engel, Vania K. Jordanova +3
This study focuses on the radiation effects of Sr+ ions--generated from high-altitude nuclear explosions (HANE)--on satellite solar cells in low-Earth orbits (LEO). Along four sele…
Hybrid Paricle-in-Cell Simulations of Electromagnetic Coupling and Waves From Streaming Burst Debris
Brett D. Keenan, Ari Le, Dan Winske +4
Various systems can be modeled as a point-like explosion of ionized debris into a magnetized, collisionless background plasma -- including astrophysical examples, active experiment…
Astrophysical explosions revisited: collisionless coupling of debris to magnetized plasma
Ari Le, Dan Winske, Adam Stanier +4
The coupling between a rapidly expanding cloud of ionized debris and an ambient magnetized plasma is revisited with a hybrid (kinetic ion/fluid electron) simulation code that allow…
Hybrid Simulations of Positively and Negatively Charged Pickup Ions and Cyclotron Wave Generation at Europa
R. T. Desai, M. M. Cowee, H. Wei +4
In the vicinity of Europa, Galileo observed bursty Alfvén-cyclotron wave power at the gyrofrequencies of a number of species including K, O, Na, and Cl, indicatin…
Cassini CAPS identification of pickup ion compositions at Rhea
R. T. Desai, S. A. Taylor, L. H. Regoli +9
Saturn's largest icy moon, Rhea, hosts a tenuous surface-sputtered exosphere composed primarily of molecular oxygen and carbon dioxide. In this Letter, we examine Cassini Plasma Sp…
