The boundaries identification of Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices in observational data has been addressed by searching for single-spacecraft small-scale signatures. A recent hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell simulation of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability has pointed out clear kinetic features which uniquely characterize the vortex during both the nonlinear and turbulent stage of the instability. We compare the simulation results with \textit{in situ} observations of Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices by the Magnetospheric MultiScale satellites. We find good agreement between simulation and observations. In particular, the edges of the vortex are associated with strong current sheets, while the center is characterized by a low value for the magnitude of the total current density and strong deviation of the ion distribution function from a Maxwellian distribution. We also find a significant temperature anisotropy parallel to the magnetic field inside the vortex region and strong agyrotropies near the edges. We suggest that these kinetic features can be useful for the identification of Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices in \textit{in situ} data.

Kelvin--Helmholtz instability in a cool solar jet in the framework of Hall magnetohydrodynamics: A case study
本文研究了沿轴向运动的圆柱形磁通管中的磁流体动力学（MHD）模发生Kelvin-Helmholtz（KH）不稳定的条件。本文从线性化的霍尔磁流体力学方程出发，对冷等离子体的实波数和复角波频率\textbf{/complex wave phase velocities}，导出了磁流体力学模\textbf{obtained}的色散关系.色散方程在固定的输入参数和变化的$l_\mathrm{Hall}/a$比值下数值求解，其中$l_\mathrm{Hall} = c/ω_\mathrm{pi}$（$c$是光速，$ω_\mathrm{pi}$是离子等离子体频率）和$a$是通量管半径。结果表明，磁流体动力学模式的稳定性取决于四个参数：磁通量管与其周围环境的密度差、内外磁场的比值、$l_\mathrm{Hall}/a$的比值和Alfvén马赫数\textbf{defined as the ratio of the tube axial velocity to Alfvén speed inside the flux tube}的值。研究发现，在高密度对比度下，当$l_\mathrm{Hall}/a$值较小时，在某一临界Alfvén马赫数（或等效的临界流速）下，扭折（$m = 1$）模式会因KH不稳定性而变得不稳定，但阈值$l_\mathrm{Hall}/a$可以抑制KH不稳定性的发生。然而，在…
