Fig. 3: Gyrotropic velocity-space signature of ion cyclotron damping.
From: Direct observation of ion cyclotron damping of turbulence in Earth’s magnetosheath plasma
The gyrotropic velocity-space signature of ion cyclotron damping \({C}_{{E}_{\perp }}({v}_{\parallel },{v}_{\perp };\tau )\) from (a) a hybrid Vlasov–Maxwell (HVM) simulation of Alfvén-ion cyclotron turbulence35 and from (b) the MMS data for a correlation interval τ = 77 s. c Reduced correlation \({C}_{{E}_{\perp }}({v}_{\perp };\tau )\) for same interval of MMS data. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
