Temperature Anisotropy in a Shocked Plasma: Mirror-mode Instabilities in the Heliosheath
We show that temperature anisotropies induced at a shock can account for interplanetary and planetary bow shock observations. Shocked plasma with enhanced plasma b is preferentially unstable to the mirror-mode instability downstream of a quasi-perpendicular shock and to the fire-hose instability downstream of a quasiparallel shock, consistent with magnetic fluctuations observed downstream of a ...
متن کاملSpace–time structure and wavevector anisotropy in space plasma turbulence
Space and astrophysical plasmas often develop into a turbulent state and exhibit nearly random and stochastic motions. While earlier studies emphasize more on understanding the energy spectrum of turbulence in the one-dimensional context (either in the frequency or the wavenumber domain), recent achievements in plasma turbulence studies provide an increasing amount of evidence that plasma turbu...
متن کاملPlasma waves driven by gravitational waves in an expanding universe
In a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmological model with zero spatial curvature, we consider the interaction of the gravitational waves with the plasma in the presence of a weak magnetic field. Using the relativistic hydromagnetic equations it is verified that large amplitude magnetosonic waves are excited, assuming that both, the gravitational field and the weak magnetic field do not brea...
متن کاملCriteria Governing Electron Plasma Waves in a Two-Temperature Plasma
Plasmas with two electron populations having different temperatures are known to occur in thermonuclear fusion research devices, laser plasma experiments, space plasmas, multipole laboratory devices, etc. A number of studies in small basic research machines [1, 2, 3] have shown that in such plasmas, two electron plasma wave (EPW) modes may under certain circumstances occur simulta neously. One...
متن کاملPlasma Depletion and Mirror Waves Ahead of Interplanetary Mass Ejections
We find that the sheath regions between fast interplanetary mass ejections (ICMEs) and their preceding shocks are often characterized by plasma depletion and mirror wave structures, analogous to planetary magnetosheaths. A case study of these signatures in the sheath of a magnetic cloud (MC) shows that a plasma depletion layer (PDL) coincides with magnetic field draping around the MC. In the sa...
