Direct evidence of magnetic reconnection onset via the tearing instability
Mayur R. Bakrania, I. Jonathan Rae, Andrew P. Walsh +4
Magnetic reconnection is a sporadic process responsible for energy release in space and laboratory plasmas. It is believed that the tearing mode instability may be responsible for…
Proton energization by phase-steepening of parallel propagating Alfvénic fluctuations
C. A. González, A. Tenerani, L. Matteini +2
Proton energization at magnetic discontinuities generated by phase-steepened fronts of parallel propagating, large-amplitude Alfvénic fluctuation is studied using hybrid simulation…
Collisionless heat flux regulation via electron firehose instability in presence of a core and suprathermal population in the expanding solar wind
Maria Elena Innocenti, Elisabetta Boella, Anna Tenerani +1
The evolution of the electron heat flux in the solar wind is regulated by the interplay between several effects: solar wind expansion, that can potentially drive velocity-space ins…
Oblique tearing mode instability: guide field and Hall effect
Chen Shi, Marco Velli, Fulvia Pucci +2
The tearing mode instability is one important mechanism that may explain the triggering of fast magnetic reconnection in astrophysical plasmas such as the solar corona and the Eart…
Dynamic evolution of current sheets, ideal tearing, plasmoid formation and generalized fractal reconnection scaling relations
Alkendra Singh, Fulvia Pucci, Anna Tenerani +3
Magnetic reconnection may be the fundamental process allowing energy stored in magnetic fields to be released abruptly, solar flares and coronal mass ejection (CME) being archetypa…
An introductory guide to fluid models with anisotropic temperatures Part 2 -- Kinetic theory, Padé approximants and Landau fluid closures
P. Hunana, A. Tenerani, G. P. Zank +7
In Part 2 of our guide to collisionless fluid models, we concentrate on Landau fluid closures. These closures were pioneered by Hammett and Perkins and allow for the rigorous incor…
