New Publication: “Rankine–Hugoniot Relations and Magnetic Field Enhancement in Turbulent Shocks” by Michael Gedalin November 8, 2023 - In fast collisionless shocks, the density and magnetic field increase and the plasma is heated. The compression and heating are… Continue reading
New Publication: “Scattering of Superthermal Ions at Shocks: Dependence on Energy” by Michael Gedalin et al. November 8, 2023 - Diffusive shock acceleration requires the production of backstreaming superthermal ions (injection) as a first step. Such ions can be generated… Continue reading
New Publication: “Jitter Radiation as an Alternative Mechanism for the Nonthermal X-Ray Emission of Cassiopeia A” by Emanuele Greco et al. October 25, 2023 - Synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons is usually invoked as responsible for the nonthermal emission observed in supernova remnants. Diffusive shock… Continue reading
New Publication: “Non-specular ion reflection at quasiperpendicular collisionless shock front” by Prachi Sharma and Michael Gedalin September 21, 2023 - The structure of a collisionless shock affects ion motion in the shock front and is affected by the formed ion… Continue reading
New Publication: “Electron heating in shocks: Statistics and comparison” by Michael Gedalin et al. September 14, 2023 - Supernova remnant (SNR) shocks are the highest Mach number non-relativistic shocks in electron-ion plasmas. These shocks are the most efficient… Continue reading
