The solar wind, a continuous flow of plasma from the sun, not only shapes the near Earth
space environment but also serves as a natural laboratory to study plasma turbulence in …

Pressure anisotropy can strongly influence the dynamics of weakly collisional, high-beta
plasmas, but its effects are missed by standard magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Small …

We consider a nearly collisionless plasma consisting of a species of “test particles” in one
spatial and one velocity dimension, stirred by an externally imposed stochastic electric field …

The solar wind forms the largest wind tunnel for plasma and magnetofluid turbulence that is
accessible to Earth. It evolves from what is thought to be a turbulent source that continues to …

The differential heating of electrons and ions by turbulence in weakly collisional magnetized
plasmas and the scales at which such energy dissipation is most effective are still debated …

Three-dimensional kinetic-scale turbulence is studied numerically in the regime where
electrons are strongly magnetized (the ratio of plasma species pressure to magnetic …

Interplanetary (IP) shocks are believed to play a significant role in both amplifying the
background level of turbulent fluctuations and in heating the bulk solar wind (SW). This study …

The differential heating of electrons and ions by turbulence in weakly collisional magnetized
plasmas and the scales at which such energy dissipation is most effective are still debated …

We examine dissipation and energy conversion in weakly collisional plasma turbulence,
employing in situ observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission and kinetic …

Modeling the transport of low-energy (1− 10 MeV) cosmic-ray electrons can lead to valuable
insights as to the behavior of the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF), due to the fact that the …
