Magnetic and Velocity Shear Driven Instabilities in the Heliospheric Plasma

We have addressed the problem of combined magnetic and velocity shear driven instabilities in the context of the heliospheric plasma. New high-order numerical methods have been used to analyze the instability dynamics of the heliospheric current-sheet interacting with the structure determined by the...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	We have addressed the problem of combined magnetic and velocity shear driven instabilities in the context of the heliospheric plasma. New high-order numerical methods have been used to analyze the instability dynamics of the heliospheric current-sheet interacting with the structure determined by the slow component of the solar wind on the solar equatorial plane above the helmet streamers. Preliminary results are presented.
