Mounting evidence indicates that neutrinos likely undergo fast flavor conversion (FFC) in at least some core-collapse supernovae. Outcomes of FFC, however, remain highly uncertain …
Observed turbulence in space and astrophysics is expected to involve cascade and subsequent dissipation and heating. Contrary to standard collisional fluid turbulence, the …
In fast wind or when the local Coulomb collision frequency is low, observations show that solar wind minor ions and ion subpopulations flow with different bulk velocities …
The physical foundations of the dissipation of energy and the associated heating in weakly collisional plasmas are poorly understood. Here, we compare and contrast several …
The description of the local turbulent energy transfer and the high-resolution ion distributions measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission together provide a formidable tool to …
Our understanding of processes occurring in the heliosphere historically began with reduced dimensionality-one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) sketches and …
We report the results of a direct comparison between different kinetic models of collisionless plasma turbulence in two spatial dimensions. The models considered include a first …

Spacecraft observations have shown that the proton temperature in the solar wind falls off with radial distance more slowly than expected for an adiabatic prediction. Usually, previous …
We develop first-principles theory of kinetic plasma turbulence governed by the Vlasov- Maxwell-Landau equations in the limit of vanishing collision rates. Following an exact …
