Riquelme Hernández, Mario; Quataert, Eliot; Verscharen, Daniel (IOP Publishing, 2016)In low-collisionality plasmas, velocity-space instabilities are a key mechanism providing an effective collisionality for the plasma. We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to study the interplay between electron-and ...

Riquelme, Mario; Quataert, Eliot; Verscharen, Daniel (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2018)We use particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of a collisionless, electron–ion plasma with a decreasing background magnetic field, B, to study the effect of velocity-space instabilities on the viscous heating and thermal ...

Riquelme Hernández, Mario; Osorio, Alvaro; Quataert, Eliot (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017)We use 2D particle-in-cell simulations to study the effect of the saturated whistler instability on the viscous heating and nonthermal acceleration of electrons in a shearing, collisionless plasma with a growing magnetic ...
