Regulation of Solar Wind Electron Temperature Anisotropy by Collisions and Instabilities

Typical solar wind electrons are modeled as being composed of a dense but less energetic thermal “core” population plus a tenuous but energetic “halo” population with varying degrees of temperature anisotropies for both species. In this paper, we seek a fundamental explanation of how these solar win...
