Kinetic electron and ion instability of the lunar wake simulated at physical mass ratio
The solar wind wake behind the moon is studied with 1D electrostatic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations using a physical ion to electron mass ratio (unlike prior investigations); the simulations also apply more generally to supersonic flow of dense magnetized plasma past nonmagnetic objects. A hybri...
