Kinetic Alfven Waves From Magnetotail to the Ionosphere in Global Hybrid Simulation Associated With Fast Flows 

Cheng, Lei; Lin, Yu; Perez, J; Johnson, Jay; Wang, Xueyi; 0000-0002-9562-1103; 0000-0002-5619-9093 (2022-09-29)
We have used the Auburn Global Hybrid Code in 3-D to study the generation, dynamics, and global structure of kinetic Alfven waves (KAWs) from the magnetotail to the ionosphere. Our results show that KAWs are generated in ...

Kinetic Alfven waves in three-dimensional magnetic reconnection 

Liang, Ji; Lin, Yu; Johnson, Jay; Wang, Xueyi; Wang, Zheng-Xiong; 0000-0002-9562-1103 (2022-10-27)
Alfvenic waves are believed to be fundamentally important in magnetic reconnection. Kinetic dynamics of particles can break the Alfven speed limit in the evolution and propagation of perturbations during reconnection. In ...
