Collisionless shock formation, spontaneous electromagnetic fluctuations, and streaming instabilities
Bret, A.; Stockem, A.; Fiuza, F.; Ruyer, C.; Gremillet, L.; Narayan, R.; Silva, L. O. (AIP Publishing, 2013)Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in astrophysics and in the lab. Recent numerical simulations and experiments have shown how they can arise from the encounter of two collisionless plasma shells. When the shells ... -
Collisionless Weibel shocks: Full formation mechanism and timing
Bret, A.; Stockem, A.; Narayan, R.; Silva, L. O. (AIP Publishing, 2014)Collisionless shocks in plasmas play an important role in space physics (Earth's bow shock) and astrophysics (supernova remnants, relativistic jets, gamma-ray bursts, high energy cosmic rays). While the formation of a fluid ... -
Theory of the formation of a collisionless Weibel shock: pair vs. electron/proton plasmas
Bret, A.; Stockem Novo, A.; Narayan, R.; Ruyer, C.; Dieckmann, M. E.; Silva, L. O. (Cambridge University Press, 2016)Collisionless shocks are shocks in which the mean-free path is much larger than the shock front. They are ubiquitous in astrophysics and the object of much current attention as they are known to be excellent particle ...
