Ion versus electron heating in compressively driven astrophysical gyrokinetic turbulence
The partition of irreversible heating between ions and electrons in compressively driven (but subsonic) collisionless turbulence is investigated by means of nonlinear hybrid gyrokinetic simulations. We derive a prescription for the ion-to-electron heating ratio Qi/Qe as a function of the compressive...
