Lynn B Wilson

I started my work in space plasma physics at Saint John's University [Collegeville, MN] while working on my senior thesis [Advisor: J. Crumley]. My thesis, titled: A Theoretical Approach to Analyzing the Size and Shape of Solitary Waves, examined the possible shapes of electrostatic BGK electron phase-space holes assuming a Gaussian potential. I was accepted into the graduate program at the University of Minnesota and participated in a summer research fellowship prior to the start of term continuing my work on solitary waves. I worked for C.A. Cattell, J. Crumley's former doctoral advisor.

I started to officially work for Dr. Cattell after my first year of course work on waveform observations in and around collisionless shock waves. I was appointed an RA for my second year as a graduate student and won the NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship, which funded my work from Sep. 2007 through May 2010. I applied for both the NASA Postdoctoral Program and the Living With a Star Heliophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in early 2010. I was awarded a fellowship for the later, but was later offered a permanent position as a civil servant at NASA, which I accepted. I won the Dr. Leonard F. Burlaga/Arctowski Medal Fellowship in the summer of 2010 to fund the rest of my graduate career.

I defended my dissertation, titled: The microphysics of collisionless shocks, in Sep. 2010. Three days later, my fiance and I drove to Maryland from MInnesota to start my new career at NASA.

I continue to work on wave-particle microphysics and have helped with updating the calibration [in collaboration with Berkeley SSL] of an electrostatic analyzer on the Wind spacecraft.

Research Interests

Large amplitude whistler mode waves in the radiation belts

Solar System: Magnetospheres

I am interested in the properties of large amplitude whistler mode waves in the terrestrial radiation belts because they may play important roles in global radiation belt dynamics.

Energy dissipation in collisionless shocks

Heliophysics: Transient Events

Collisionless shock waves are a ubiquitous phenomena in space. They are observed in situ around planets in our solar system and in front of transient solar eruptions called coronal mass ejections. Collisionless shocks are thought to produce some of the highest energy cosmic rays and are known to be efficient accelerators of particles in our solar system. Their capacity to accelerate particles and induce large magnetic effects in both the terrestrial magnetic field and our power grids make collisionless shocks a topic of considerable interest.

Shock waves are the result of a process called nonlinear wave steepening that has reached the point where the steepening is balanced by some form of energy dissipation. In a collisional fluid (like our atmosphere), energy dissipation is accomplished by irreversibly transferring the bulk kinetic energy of the flow into random kinetic energy (i.e. heat) through binary particle collisions. In a collisionless medium, this type of energy dissipation cannot limit wave steepening.

One of the theorized energy dissipation mechanisms is anomalous resistivity, due to wave-particle interactions. Here, the waves create effective collisions with the particles involved in creating the currents in the ramp of a collisionless magnetized shock wave. These anomalous collisions limit the current (i.e. relative drift between electrons and ions), thus limit the wave steepening.

Other forms of energy dissipation are thought to occur, including wave dispersion, particle reflection, and reversible macroscopic effects. I am also interested in particle reflection and dispersive effects in collisionless shock waves.

Wave-Particle Interactions

Heliophysics: Plasma Processes

Wave-particle interactions is a generalized way to express the study of energy/momentum transfer between electromagnetic fields and charged particles. I study these processes by examining data from instruments that measure electric and magnetic fields combined with data from particle detectors. Using these data, in addition to theory, I can infer and sometimes definitively show evidence of wave-particle interactions.

These processes are important, as they are thought to play a role in:

coronal heating;
solar flare particle acceleration;
particle acceleration at collisionless shocks; and
particle heating at collisionless shocks.

Particle Acceleration

Heliophysics: Transient Events

I am interested in understanding how transient ion foreshock phenomena (TIFP) can locally accelerate particles. Some examples of TIFP include:

short large amplitude magnetic structures or SLAMS;
hot flow anomalies or HFAs; and
foreshock bubbles or FBs.

The reasons are many fold, but a natural extension is for high energy shock acceleration. In particular, I am referring to the type of shock acceleration that involves a particle bouncing back-and-forth across the shock reflecting off of localize scattering centers, called diffusive shock acceleration or DSA. If we can show evidence that small-scale (compared to the bow shock, for instance) phenomena can locally accelerate particles, then it supports some shock acceleration theories (e.g., DSA) used to explain the origin of the observed high energy cosmic rays.

I was the first to show that SLAMS can locally accelerate ions generating their own miniature foreshocks [e.g., Wilson et al., 2013b]. I was also the first to show that similar structures can locally accelerate electrons [e.g., Wilson et al., 2016] to 100s of keV. This may help explain some of the synchrotron radiation observed in supernova remnants and other astrophysical phenomena.

Shock Acceleration

Heliophysics: Plasma Processes

I am interested in and currently working on multiple projects investigating particle acceleration at collisionless shock waves, both electrons and ions. We are looking into whether the traditional theories of shock acceleration can explain observations and when they cannot, whether other processes are responsible (e.g., Can small-scale waves pre-energize particles sufficiently to inject them into higher order acceleration processes?).

Kinetic Theory

Heliophysics: Inner Heliosphere

I developed software to model the solar wind velocity distribution functions (VDFs) as the sum of three functional forms. Since the solar wind is a nonequilibrium, weakly collisional, kinetic gas the VDF is not a single, isotropic structure. In such gases, the particles stream through/past each other with little-to-no interaction on short temporal/spatial scales. Thus, modeling the VDF as a superposition of multiple components is justified. The interesting thing is that the core electrons, traditionally modeled as a bi-Maxwellian, turn out to be better modeled by a bi-self-similar distribution, which is associated with inelasticity in coarse grain media and propagation through porous media. The model functions and methodology are described in Wilson et al. [2019a] and the dataset Wilson et al. [2019b].

I am the Mission Scientist for the SunRISE mission and am working closely with the science operations center (SOC) to develop software to automate the generation of common data format (CDF) files. I am very interested in the SunRISE mission because it may help us better understand particle acceleration at collisionless shocks, a topic of great interest in much of my research.

Special Experience

IDL Programming:

TPLOT (TDAS and/or SPEDAS):

I rewrote and commented a significant fraction of the Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory IDL library called TPLOT as a stand-alone software library (https://github.com/lynnbwilsoniii/wind_3dp_pros) for the Wind/3DP instrument. The software has helped in data analysis in multiple refereed publications. I am currently working to integrate these updates into the TDAS/SPEDAS software libraries.

Calibration:

I wrote IDL software to calibrate and/or calculate efficiencies for an electrostatic analyzer and a dipole wire electric field antenna on the Wind spacecraft.

Beam Fitting Routines:

I wrote a library of routines that help a user isolate and fit a bi-Maxwellian velocity distribution function to a secondary beam population from an array of input IDL structures, each of which define a velocity distribution from an electrostatic analyzer instrument (e.g., 3DP from Wind or ESA from THEMIS).

Distribution Fitting Routines:

I wrote a library of routines that use a nonlinear least-squares algorithm to fit solar wind electron velocity distributions to multiple different model functions allowing for inputs from Wind/3DP, THEMIS/ESA, or MMS/FPI.

Frame Transformation Routines:

I wrote a library of routines that allow a user to interactively change the frame of reference in which a 3D particle velocity distribution is shown. This allows one to change from, say, the level-2 velocity frame to the frame where the peak phase space density is centered on the origin in velocity space.

Adaptive Interval Minimum Variance Analysis Routines:

These routines perform minimum variance analysis (MVA) and automatically determine which subintervals have the best results. These routines save a tremendous amount of time from the usual iterative method of zoom-in then zoom-out until one finds a good interval on which to perform MVA.

Rankine-Hugoniot Relations:

I wrote a standalone IDL library that numerically solves the Rankine-Hugoniot relations and returns a shock normal unit vector, an upstream shock normal speed (in spacecraft and shock rest frame), a downstream shock normal speed (in shock rest frame), and an array of all possible unit normal chi-squared results for testing minimum results.

Velocity Distribution Function Fitting Routines:

I wrote a series of routines that fit particle velocity distribution functions (VDF) to the sum of three, user-defined model functions. The routines determine the number density, bulk flow velocity, and thermal speeds (parallel and perpendicular to the quasi-static magnetic field) of the three components within the VDF. For solar wind electrons, the three components are the core, halo, and beam/strahl. The details of the software can be found at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/ab22bd.

Mathematica:

I wrote a set of Mathematica packages for dispersion relation tests, visualizations of several phenomena (e.g., cyclotron resonance or nonlinear wave steepening), numerical estimates of critical Mach numbers, cold plasma and two-fluid dispersion solvers and analytical tests for numerical IDL routines.
