Gap Formation Around 0.5 Omega(e) in the Whistler-Mode Waves Due To the Plateau-Like Shape in the Parallel Electron Distribution: 2D PIC Simulations
(2022-10-12)
The power gap around 0.5 Omega(e) (where Omega(e) is the equatorial electron gyrofrequency) of whistler-mode waves is commonly observed in the Earth's inner magnetosphere, but its generation mechanism is still under debate. ...
Test-Particle Simulations of Linear and Nonlinear Interactions Between a 2-D Whistler-Mode Wave Packet and Radiation Belt Electrons
(2020-05-27)
Using test-particle simulations, we describe (in 2-D) the interaction of an ensemble of electrons with a discrete whistler-mode wave packet, which propagates with a moderate wave-normal angle with respect to the background ...
Two-Dimensional Particle-in-Cell Simulation of Magnetosonic Wave Excitation in a Dipole Magnetic Field
(2020-05-27)
The excitation of magnetosonic waves in the meridian plane of a rescaled dipole magnetic field is investigated, for the first time, using a general curvilinear particle-in-cell simulation. Our simulation demonstrates that ...
