Enhanced Magnetic Field Amplification by Ion-beam Weibel Instability in Weakly Magnetized Astrophysical Shocks

We examine the evolution of ion-beam Weibel instability at strong collisionless shocks in weakly magnetized media. We find that a finite background magnetic field substantially affects both the linear and nonlinear phases of the instability, depending on whether the background electrons behave magne...
