Astrophysical plasmas have the remarkable ability to preserve magnetic topology, which
inevitably gives rise to the accumulation of magnetic energy within stressed regions …

Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence regulates the transfer of energy from large to small scales
in many astrophysical systems, including the solar atmosphere. We perform three …

Due to its ubiquitous presence, turbulence is often invoked to explain the origin of
nonthermal particles in astrophysical sources of high-energy emission. With particle-in-cell …

Magnetized turbulence and magnetic reconnection are often invoked to explain the
nonthermal emission observed from a wide variety of astrophysical sources. By means of …

This review of scaling theories of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence aims to put the
developments of the last few years in the context of the canonical time line (from Kolmogorov …

The plasmoid instability has revolutionized our understanding of magnetic reconnection in
astrophysical environments. By preventing the formation of highly elongated reconnection …

Magnetic reconnection, a plasma process converting magnetic energy to particle kinetic
energy, is often invoked to explain magnetic energy releases powering high-energy flares in …

We study properties of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) eigenmodes by decomposing the data
of MHD simulations into linear MHD modes—namely, the Alfvén, slow magnetosonic, and …

The plasmoid instability in evolving current sheets has been widely studied due to its effects
on the disruption of current sheets, the formation of plasmoids, and the resultant fast …

Magnetic reconnection occurs ubiquitously in the universe and is often invoked to explain
fast energy release and particle acceleration in high-energy astrophysics. The study of …
