Electromagnetic Ion–Ion Instabilities in Space Plasmas: Effects of Suprathermal Populations [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 In collision-poor plasmas from space, three distinct ion–ion instabilities can be driven by the proton beams streaming along the background magnetic field: left-hand resonant, nonresonant, and right-hand resonant instabilities. These instabilities are in

Direct Observations of Reconnection Fronts in Earth's Turbulent Magnetosheath
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Reconnection fronts (RFs), ion-scale magnetic transients characterized by dramatic enhancement of reconnected magnetic fields, have been documented as crucial energy transfer regions during magnetic reconnection.

Successive Energy Conversion at a Stepwise Dipolarization Front
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dipolarization fronts (DFs), ion-scale magnetic structures characterized by sharp enhancement of northward magnetic field developed within plasma jets, have been suggested to play a crucial role in the energy transfer chain in the terrestrial magnetotail.

In Situ Measurement of Curvature of Magnetic Field in Turbulent Space Plasmas: A Statistical Study [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Using in situ data, accumulated in the turbulent magnetosheath by the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, we report a statistical study of magnetic field curvature and discuss its role in the turbulent space plasmas.

Phase-space tomography in magnetically confined plasmas [PDF]
, 2023 0000-0001-5669-1937In this paper, a tomography approach aiming at reconstructing a phase-space structure is proposed. For the phase-space resolved diagnostic system, a signal must be decomposed in real-space, velocity-space, and time; therefore, it is ...

Turbulent heating in space plasmas: theory and observations
, 2021 Matthaeus, William H.A turbulent system transfers energy from large scales to progressively smaller scales until it is ultimately dissipated as heat. At intermediate lengthscales, this energy transfer mostly occurs from larger scales to smaller scales ...

Quasi-parallel whistler mode waves observed by THEMIS during near-earth dipolarizations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 We report on quasi-parallel whistler emissions detected by the near-earth satellites of the THEMIS mission before, during, and after local dipolarization. These emissions are associated with an electron temperature anisotropy α=T⊥e/T||e>1

Toward a realistic macroscopic parametrization of space plasmas with regularized κ-distributions
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 So-called κ-distributions are widely invoked in the analysis of nonequilibrium plasmas from space, although a general macroscopic parametrization as known for Maxwellian plasmas near thermal equilibrium is prevented by the diverging moments of order l ...

Whistler instability stimulated by the suprathermal electrons present in space plasmas [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2019 In the absence of efficient collisions, deviations from thermal equilibrium of plasma particle distributions are controlled by the self-generated instabilities.
