Electron-Driven Instabilities in the Solar Wind

Electron-Driven Instabilities in the Solar Wind

The electrons are an essential particle species in the solar wind. They often exhibit non-equilibrium features in their velocity distribution function. These include temperature anisotropies, tails (kurtosis), and reflectional asymmetries (skewness), which contribute a significant heat flux to the s...
