Modified jump conditions for parallel collisionless shocks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within the context of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), properties a parallel shock do not depend on field strength, as and fluid are disconnected for such geometry. However, in collisionless case, can sustain stable anisotropy downstream, triggering departure from expected MHD behavior. In recent work [A. Bret R. Narayan, J. Plasma Phys. \textbf{84}, 905840604 (2018)], theoretical model was presented allowing to derive density ratio non-relativistic an electron/positron plasma, function field. Here we entropy, pressure temperature jumps stemming this model. It is found offer transition between 3D 1D downstream density, pressure.

Exploring the nature of collisionless shocks under laboratory conditions
Collisionless shocks are pervasive in astrophysics and they are critical to understand cosmic ray acceleration. Laboratory experiments with intense lasers are now opening the way to explore and characterise the underlying microphysics, which determine the acceleration process of collisionless shocks. We determine the shock character - electrostatic or electromagnetic - based on the stability of...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic Jump Conditions for Oblique Relativistic Shocks with Gyrotropic Pressure
Shock jump conditions, i.e., the specification of the downstream parameters of the gas in terms of the upstream parameters, are obtained for steady-state, plane shocks with oblique magnetic fields and arbitrary flow speeds. This is done by combining the continuity of particle number flux and the electromagnetic boundary conditions at the shock with the magnetohydrodynamic conservation laws deri...
متن کاملWeak collisionless shocks in laser-plasmas
We obtain a theory describing laminar shock-like structures in a collisionless plasma and examine the parameter limits, in terms of the ion sound Mach number and the electron/ion temperature ratio, within which these structures exist. The essential feature is the inclusion of nite ion temperature with the result that some ions are reected from a potential ramp. This destroys the symmetry betw...
متن کاملOn Electron Adiabaticity in Collisionless Shocks
Collisionless shocks are considered as one of the most efficient phenomena for the electron acceleration in space and astrophysical plasmas, yet the detailed acceleration process and heating mechanism remain unsolved. Various acceleration and heating mechanisms have so far been proposed and discussed to explain the spacecraft measurements in situ at Earth’s bow shock, involving the large-scale ...
متن کاملCollisionless plasma shocks in striated electron temperatures.
The existence of low frequency waveguide modes of ion acoustic waves is demonstrated in magnetized plasmas for electron temperatures striated along the magnetic field lines. At higher frequencies, in a band between the ion cyclotron and the ion plasma frequency, radiative modes develop and propagate obliquely to the field away from the striation. Arguments for the subsequent formation and propa...
