Vlasov simulation of kinetic shear Alfvén waves
The treatment of kinetic shear Alfvén waves in homogeneous magnetized plasmas by means of Vlasov simulation is examined. To this end, the driftkinetic version of the Vlasov–Maxwell equations is solved via various numerical schemes, all employing a grid in (1 + 1)D phase space. Since kinetic shear Alfvén waves are Landau damped, the use of an equidistant grid in velocity space leads to a recurre...
متن کاملHamiltonian and Brownian systems with long-range interactions: V. Stochastic kinetic equations and theory of fluctuations
We develop a theory of fluctuations for Brownian systems with weak long-range interactions. For these systems, there exists a critical point separating a homogeneous phase from an inhomogeneous phase. Starting from the stochastic Smoluchowski equation governing the evolution of the fluctuating density field of the Brownian particles, we determine the expression of the correlation function of th...
متن کاملLong-wavelength Density Fluctuations Resolved in Pluto’s High Atmosphere
Near-infrared measurements of the occultation of star P445.3 by Pluto on 2007 March 18 reveal that Pluto’s upper atmosphere (∼200–400 km altitude) is unexpectedly dynamic. At a wavelength of 1.6 μm, numerous vertical fluctuations (8–20 km) of density are detected with unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio. These fluctuations are achromatic, nearly limb-aligned, and fully resolved along a ∼1000 km...

متن کاملA Consistent Effective Theory of Long-Wavelength Cosmological Perturbations
Effective field theory provides a perturbative framework to study the evolution of cosmological large-scale structure. We investigate the underpinnings of this approach, and suggest new ways to compute correlation functions of cosmological observables. We find that, in contrast with quantum field theory, the appropriate effective theory of classical cosmological perturbations involves interacti...
