Large-scale magnetic field generation via the kinetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in unmagnetized scenarios

Collisionless plasma instabilities are fundamental in magnetic field generation in astrophysical scenarios, but their role has been addressed in scenarios where velocity shear is absent. In this work we show that velocity shears must be considered when studying realistic astrophysical scenarios, sin...
