Nonlinear Equilibrium Structure of Super Thin Current Sheets: Influence of Quasi-Adiabatic Electron Population
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS. 2023. Vol. 128. No. 6. Article e2023JA031459.
Recent MMS observations confirmed the existence of the quasi-stationary electron-scale super-thin current sheets (STCSs) with a half-thickness of few electron gyroradii. STCSs contain the electronpopulation consisting of magnetized and demagnetized particles. To study the role of the demagnetized electrons, we developed a self-consistent combined model of a STCS in which the dynamics of a part of the electron population is described by the quasi-adiabatic approximation, while the motion of the other part is described by the guiding center approximation. Demagnetized ion population can be described in a frame of quasi-adiabatic approach. In the presented model we introduced the weight coefficient of the demagnetized electron plasma density χ depending on the magnetic field normal component Bn/B0 andcompared the characteristic profiles of two STCSs differing by the presence (χ ≠ 0) and absence (χ = 0) of demagnetized electrons. It is shown that the presence of demagnetized electrons makes the current density profile of STCS significantly more intense and narrower. The thickness and intensity of STCS depend on the anisotropy coefficient of magnetized electrons and the incoming drift velocity of demagnetized electrons. The maximum current density continuously increases with the growth of the demagnetized electron population andis controlled by the ratio of the thermal to the incoming drift electron velocities. Thus intense current sheets can be formed even in the absence of strong electron anisotropy, which is confirmed by MMS observations.

In this letter, bipolar solitary wave interactions in the Schamel equation are revisited numerically. Two simulation settings are considered: repeated collisions in a periodic domain, and the interaction of a positive solitary wave with a train of negative polarity solitary waves of equal amplitude. In the first case, when the amplitudes are comparable, the larger ...

This article concerns the study of modulational instability in the rotated-modified Gardner–Whitham (rmGW) equation. This model incorporates both quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, similarly to the Gardner equation, while also retaining the fully dispersive character of the Whitham equation together with a large-scale dispersive term analogous to that in the Ostrovsky equation. Using a classical multiple-scale asymptotic expansion, we ...

Manual assessment of soybean yield components, such as pod number, is laborious, time-consuming, and subjective. Existing computer-vision approaches based on object detection or instance segmentation perform poorly on close-range RGB imagery of soybean canopies due to severe occlusions, ambiguous plant boundaries, and the high cost of bounding-box annotation. To address these challenges, we propose a ...

Current sheets are spatially localized almost-one-dimensional (1D) structures with intense plasma currents. They play a key role in storing the magnetic field energy and they separate different plasma populations in planetary magnetospheres, the solar wind, and the solar corona.

One of the most important sources of magnetospheric plasma is particle entry through the distant magnetotail boundary, the nightside magnetopause. This entry mechanism depends on the magnetopause configuration. Off the equator, the strong lobe magnetic field renders the magnetopause a tangential or a rotational discontinuity, and thus the magnetosheath field orientation predominantly controls particle entry ...
