Radiation-Dominated Relativistic Current Sheets

Physical Review Letters, 2009
Relativistic current sheets (RCSs) feature plasma instabilities considered as the potential key to magnetic energy dissipation in Poynting-flux-dominated plasma flows. Kinetic plasma simulations show that the physical nature of RCS evolution changes in the presence of radiation losses: In the ultrarelativistic regime (i.e., magnetization parameter ...

The Warped Heliospheric Current Sheet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2019
AbstractThe global shape of the intersection of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) with the heliospheric equatorial plane is usually considered to be an Archimedean spiral, however, so far this has not been measured directly. We used multi‐spacecraft measurements to determine its global shape.

Nanoflares and Current Sheet Dissipation

Space Science Reviews, 1994
Energy must be continually supplied to the solar corona to maintain both its average temperature and its high energy manifestations. The energy is supplied by photospheric motions and the magnetic field acts both to transmit this energy to the corona and as the furnace in which the energy is stored.

Magnetospheric current sheets

Radio Science, 1973
A review is presented of theories and observations of current sheets in the magnetosphere, emphasizing the magnetopause and tail current sheets.Theoretical models of the magnetopause current sheet can be divided into two types: specular reflection and fluid models containing no external magnetic field, and models with an interplanetary/magnetosheath ...

Saturn's magnetodisc current sheet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2008
Pioneer 11 observations from the dawn flank of Saturn's magnetosphere provided evidence for a thin equatorial current sheet. Magnetometer data from the Cassini orbiter have also revealed the presence of this current sheet and shown it to be a consistent feature of the dawn flank. Arridge et al.
