Velocity space origins of pressure-strain interaction in multi-population distributions and its application to magnetic reconnection
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, Paul A. Cassak, Sarah Conley +7
A forefront research question is how energy evolves in weakly collisional plasmas for which departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) are significant. The standard appr…
The CHIMERAS Project: Design Framework for the Collisionless HIgh-beta Magnetized Experiment Researching Astrophysical Systems
S. Dorfman, S. Bose, E. Lichko +11
From the near-Earth solar wind to the intracluster medium of galaxy clusters, collisionless, high-beta, magnetized plasmas pervade our universe. Energy and momentum transport from…
Understanding Streaming Instabilities in the Limit of High Cosmic Ray Current Density
Emily Lichko, Damiano Caprioli, Benedikt Schroer +1
A critical component of particle acceleration in astrophysical shocks is the non-resonant (Bell) instability, where the streaming of cosmic rays (CRs) leads to the amplification of…
The Kinetic Analogue of the Pressure-Strain Interaction
Sarah A. Conley, James Juno, Jason M. TenBarge +4
Energy transport in weakly collisional plasma systems is often studied with fluid models and diagnostics. However, the applicability of fluid models is necessarily limited when col…
Electron Influence on the Parallel Proton Firehose Instability in 10-Moment, Multi-Fluid Simulations
Jada Walters, Kristopher G. Klein, Emily Lichko +2
Instabilities driven by pressure anisotropy play a critical role in modulating the energy transfer in space and astrophysical plasmas. For the first time, we simulate the evolution…
The Effects of Non-Equilibrium Velocity Distributions on Alfvén Ion-Cyclotron Waves in the Solar Wind
Jada Walters, Kristopher G. Klein, Emily Lichko +3
In this work, we investigate how the complex structure found in solar wind proton velocity distribution functions (VDFs), rather than the commonly assumed two-component bi-Maxwelli…
