Proton temperature anisotropy and magnetic reconnection in the solar wind: effects of kinetic instabilities on current sheet stability
, The Astrophysical Journal: an international review of astronomy and astronomical physics, Vol: 763, ISSN: 0004-637XWe investigate the role of kinetic instabilities driven by a proton anisotropy on the onset of magnetic reconnection by means of two-dimensional hybrid simulations. The collisionless tearing of a current sheet is studied in the presence of a proton temperature anisotropy in the surrounding plasma. Our results confirm that anisotropic protons within the current sheet region can significantly enhance/stabilize the tearing instability of the current. Moreover, fluctuations associated with linear instabilities excited by large proton temperature anisotropies can significantly influence the stability of the plasma and perturb the current sheets, triggering the tearing instability. We find that such a complex coupling leads to a faster tearing evolution in the $T_\perp >T_\Vert$ regime when an ion-cyclotron instability is generated by the anisotropic proton distribution functions. On the contrary, in the presence of the opposite anisotropy, fire-hose fluctuations excited by the unstable background protons with $T_\Vert <T_\perp$ are not able to efficiently destabilize current sheets, which remain stable for a long time after fire-hose saturation. We discuss possible influences of this novel coupling on the solar wind and heliospheric plasma dynamics.

Electron acceleration to relativistic energies at a strong quasi-parallel shock wave
Electrons can be accelerated to ultrarelativistic energies at strong (high-Mach number) collisionless shock waves that form when stellar debris rapidly expands after a supernova [4, 2, 19]. Collisionless shock waves also form in the flow of particles from the Sun (the solar wind), and extensive spacecraft observations have established that electron acceleration at these shocks is effectively absent whenever the upstream magnetic field is roughly parallel to the shock surface normal (quasi-parallel conditions) [16, 8, 10, 17, 14]. However, it is unclear whether this magnetic dependence of electron acceleration also applies to the far stronger shocks around young supernova remnants, where local magnetic conditions are poorly understood. Here we present Cassini spacecraft observations of an unusually strong solar system shock wave (Saturn’s bow shock) where significant local electron acceleration has been confirmed under quasi- parallel magnetic conditions for the first time, contradicting the established magnetic dependence of electron acceleration at solar system shocks [16, 8, 10, 17, 14]. Furthermore, the acceleration led to electrons at relativistic energies (∼ MeV), comparable to the highest energies ever attributed to shock-acceleration in the solar wind [16]. These observations suggest that at high-Mach numbers, like those of young supernova remnant shocks, quasi-parallel shocks become considerably more effective electron accelerators.

Instrument interface module between the on-board-computer and payloads in cinema CUBESAT as developed with FPGA
, Pages: 4275-4281, ISSN: 0074-1795TRiplet Ionospheric Observatory-Cubesat for Ion, Neutral, Electron and MAgnetic fields (TRIO-CINEMA) is a space science mission consisting of three identical 3U CubeSats to provide stereo Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) imaging of the ring current, multi-point in-situ measurement of supra thermal electrons and ions, and measurement of magnetic fields in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Each spacecraft is equipped with a Supra Thermal Electrons, Ions, Neutrals (STEIN) instrument and a MAGnetometer from Imperial College (MAGIC) instrument in order to measure the plasma particles with diverse species and energies and magnetic fields. STEIN is able to distinguish electrons, ions, and neutrals by applying electric field in the entrance aperture. MAGIC is a dual 3-axis magnetoresistive sensor intended for attitude control and scientific measurement. The standard spacecraft CubeSat employed for the TRIO- CINEMA mission often utilizes Commercial-Off-The Shelf (COTS) electronics to build bus avionics that provides power and communications, whereas payloads are usually built in accordance with specific requirements that are often more demanding in terms of generation, transmission and storage of the data and power consumption. Therefore, designing and developing the interface to be compatible between mission payloads and the CubeSat avionics built with COTS will be required for many CubeSat missions. In this presentation, we describe the instrument interface module between the On-Board-Computer (OBC) and the mission payloads for TRIO-CINEMA spacecraft. The module is developed to provide required communication and power interfaces. In the instrument interface module, a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is employed to support computing power of the OBC and communication interfaces. It is exclusively operated as data buffer and framer for generated data from mission payloads and their subsequent transmission through S-band to the ground station. The interface module provides various elect
