Oral
We investigated particle acceleration and shock structure
associated with an
unmagnetized relativistic jet propagating into an
unmagnetized plasma. Strong
magnetic fields generated in the trailing shock contribute to
the electron’s
transverse deflection and acceleration. Kinetic Kelvin-
Helmholtz instability (kKHI)
is also responsible to create strong DC and AC magnetic
fields....

Invited
Recent simulations of the solar wind (SW) interaction with the local
interstellar medium
(LISM) performed by our team showed that the heliopause is the
subject of various
hydrodynamic instabilities which allow for an efficient, but spotty,
mixing of the SW
and LISM plasmas. The analysis of the coupling between the
heliospheric and
interstellar magnetic fields (HMF and ISMF) shows...
