Alternative High-plasma Beta Regimes of Electron Heat-flux Instabilities in the Solar Wind

Heat transport in the solar wind is dominated by suprathermal electron populations, i.e., a tenuous halo and a field-aligned beam/strahl, with high energies and antisunward drifts along the magnetic field. Their evolution may offer plausible explanations for the rapid decrease of the heat flux with...
