We study the parametric decay instability of parallel propagating Alfv\'en wave in a low-beta plasma using one-dimensional fully kinetic simulations. We focus for the first time on the conversion of the energy stored in the initial Alfv\'en…
Using linear Vlasov theory of plasma waves and quasi-linear theory of resonant wave-particle interaction, the dispersion relations and the electromagnetic field fluctuations of fast and Alfven waves are studied for a low-beta multi-ion…
We present results from a kinetic model of collisionless gyrotropic coronal hole protons heated by cyclotron and Landau resonant dissipation of critically balanced kinetic Alfv\'en waves. The model incorporates the kinetic effects of…
Solar wind provides an example of a weakly collisional plasma expanding from a thermal source in the presence of spatially diverging magnetic field lines. Observations show that in the inner heliosphere, the electron temperature declines…
Within the framework of a two-fluid description possible pathways for the generation of fast flows (dynamical as well as steady) in the lower solar atmosphere is established. It is shown that a primary plasma flow (locally sub-Alfv\'enic)…
In this work we used Particle-In-Cell simulations to study the interaction of circularly polarised Alfv\'en waves with one dimensional plasma density inhomogeneities transverse to the uniform magnetic field (phase mixing) in collisionless…
We investigate the conditions under which parallel-propagating Alfv\'en/ion-cyclotron waves are driven unstable by an isotropic ($T_{\perp \alpha} = T_{\parallel\alpha}$) population of alpha particles drifting parallel to the magnetic field…
This paper makes use of a one-dimensional kinetic model to investigate the nonlinear longitudinal dynamics of electron beams generated in the plasma under the influence of a self-generated electric field. It is expressed as where is a wave…
Kinetic Alfv\'en waves represent an important subject in space plasma physics, since they are thought to play a crucial role in the development of the turbulent energy cascade in the solar wind plasma at short wavelengths (of the order of…
In the parts of the solar corona and solar wind that experience the fewest Coulomb collisions, the component proton, electron, and heavy ion populations are not in thermal equilibrium with one another. Observed differences in temperatures,…
Unraveling the origin of proton beams and ion Bernstein waves is important to understanding kinetic dissipation in the solar wind. Here we focus on their generation mechanisms, rather than their well-studied roles in instabilities and…
The evolution of a linearly-polarized, long-wavelength Alfv\'en wave --propagating in a collisionless magnetized plasma with a sheared parallel-directed velocity flow-- is here studied by means of two-dimensional hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell (HVM)…
Observational and theoretical evidence suggest that beams of accelerated particles are produced in flaring events of all sizes in the solar atmosphere, from X-class flares to nanoflares. Current models of these types of particles in flaring…
Although the origins of slow solar wind are unclear, there is increasing evidence that at least some of it is released in a steady state on over-expanded coronal hole magnetic field lines. This type of slow wind has similar properties to…
Recent observations of the solar wind ions by the SPAN-I instruments on board the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft at solar perihelia (Encounters) 4 and closer find ample evidence of complex anisotropic non-Maxwellian velocity…
An accurate assessment of the Sun's angular momentum (AM) loss rate is an independent constraint for models that describe the rotation evolution of Sun-like stars. In-situ measurements of the solar wind taken by Parker Solar Probe (PSP), at…
The linear stability of Alfv\'en eigenmodes in the presence of fusion-born alpha particles is thoroughly assessed for two variants of an ITER baseline scenario, which differ significantly in their core and pedestal temperatures. A…
We use 2.5-D electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulation code to investigate the acceleration of electrons in solar coronal holes through the interaction of Alfv\'en waves with an interplume region. The interplume is modeled by a cavity…
Plasma-mediated interaction between astrophysical objects can play an important role and produce electromagnetic radiation in various binary systems, ranging from planet-moon and star-planet systems to binary compact objects. We perform 3D…
In the solar wind plasma an excess of kinetic temperature along the background magnetic field stimulates proton firehose modes to grow if the parallel plasma beta parameter is sufficiently high, i.e., $\beta_{p \parallel}\gtrsim 1$. This…
