Notes. Table includes the mass ratio between ions and electrons m_i/m_e, grid spacing Δx = Δy, time step Δt, domain size L_x × L_y, total plasma-β, background magnetic field B₀, and electron and ion temperatures T_0, e and T_0, i. Length scales are normalized to the ion inertial length d_0, i calculated with the background density n₀, and time scales are normalized to the inverse ion plasma frequency $ω_{0, i}^{- 1}$ $\omega_{0,i}^{-1}$ .
