One characteristic trait of space plasmas is the multi-scale dynamics resulting from non-
linear transfers and conversions of various forms of energy. Routinely evidenced in a range …

When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

The solar wind is a magnetized plasma and as such exhibits collective plasma behavior
associated with its characteristic spatial and temporal scales. The characteristic length …

Magnetic reconnection, topological changes in magnetic fields, is a fundamental process in
magnetized plasmas. It is associated with energy release in regions of magnetic field …

Abstract The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigation on Solar
Probe Plus is a four sensor instrument suite that provides complete measurements of the …

In this review we will focus on a topic of fundamental importance for both astrophysics and
plasma physics, namely the occurrence of large-amplitude low-frequency fluctuations of the …

The fast solar wind's high speeds and non-thermal features require that considerable
heating occurs well above the Sun's surface. Two leading theories seem incompatible: low …

We examine the effect of weak, small-scale magnetic field structure on the rate of
reconnection in a strongly magnetized plasma. This affects the rate of reconnection by …

This book presents an introduction to, and modern account of, magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) turbulence, an active field both in general turbulence theory and in various areas of …

This paper summarises some of the recent progress that has been made in understanding
astrophysical plasma turbulence in the solar wind, from in situ spacecraft observations. At …
