Collisionless Shocks as a Diagnostic Tool for Understanding Energetic Particle Transport in Space Plasmas

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
We study the transport of energetic particles accelerated at three different shock events observed in the solar wind by the ACE spacecraft. We consider particle propagation for a quasi-parallel, an oblique, and a quasi-perpendicular shock.

Microphysical Plasma Relations from Special-relativistic Turbulence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The microphysical, kinetic properties of astrophysical plasmas near accreting compact objects are still poorly understood. For instance, in modern general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations, the relation between the temperature of electrons T ...

Domain of Influence Analysis: Implications for Data Assimilation in Space Weather Forecasting

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
Solar activity, ranging from the background solar wind to energetic coronal mass ejections (CMEs), is the main driver of the conditions in the interplanetary space and in the terrestrial space environment, known as space weather.

Synchrotron Firehose Instability

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We demonstrate using linear theory and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations that a synchrotron-cooling collisionless plasma acquires pressure anisotropy and, if the plasma beta is sufficiently high, becomes unstable to the firehose instability, in a ...

High-Frequency Dynamics of Active Region Moss as Observed by IRIS

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
The high temporal, spatial and spectral resolution of Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) has provided new insights into the understanding of different small-scale processes occurring at the chromospheric and transition region (TR) heights.

Exact Calculation of Nonideal Fields Demonstrates Their Dominance of Injection in Relativistic Reconnection

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Magnetic reconnection is an important source of energetic particles in systems ranging from astrophysics to the laboratory. The large separation of spatiotemporal scales involved makes it critical to determine the minimum physical model containing the ...

Optimized gyrosynchrotron algorithms and fast codes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Gyrosynchrotron (GS) emission of charged particles spiraling in magnetic fields plays an exceptionally important role in astrophysics. In particular, this mechanism makes a dominant contribution to the continuum solar and stellar radio emissions. However,

Multithermal Jet Formation Triggered by Flux Emergence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Flux emergence is responsible for various solar eruptions. Combining observation and simulations, we investigate the influence of flux emergence at one footpoint of an arcade on coronal rain as well as induced eruptions.

Amplitudes and Energy Fluxes of Simulated Decayless Kink Oscillations

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
Recent observations with the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument on the SDO spacecraft have revealed the existence of decayless coronal kink oscillations.

The Madison plasma dynamo experiment: a facility for studying laboratory plasma astrophysics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment (MPDX) is a novel, versatile, basic plasma research device designed to investigate flow driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and other high-$\beta$ phenomena with astrophysically relevant parameters.
