Estimates of Proton and Electron Heating Rates Extended to the Near-Sun Environment

R Bandyopadhyay, CM Meyer… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
A central problem of space plasma physics is how protons and electrons are heated in a
turbulent, magnetized plasma. The differential heating of charged species due to dissipation …
