  1. Shock precursor type changes ion and electron acceleration
    Simulations reveal two distinct regimes in transrelativistic shocks where competing plasma instabilities produce dramatically different particle acceleration efficiencies for ions and electrons.
  2. GPU-optimized PLUTO code shows preliminary performance results
    gPLUTO is a GPU-optimized implementation of the PLUTO code for solving magnetohydrodynamic equations. Preliminary results demonstrate performance viability on pre-exascale parallel architectures.
  3. Cold ions enable ion-acoustic waves in asymmetric reconnection
    Particle-in-cell simulations characterize ion-acoustic wave excitation and energy transfer mechanisms in asymmetric magnetic reconnection with cold ion populations.
