The multi-scale nature of the solar wind

D Verscharen, KG Klein, BA Maruca - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
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 …

The solar wind as a turbulence laboratory

R Bruno, V Carbone - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2013 - Springer
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 …

Recent progress in astrophysical plasma turbulence from solar wind observations

CHK Chen - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2016 - cambridge.org

Theory of cosmic ray transport in the heliosphere

NE Engelbrecht, F Effenberger, V Florinski… - Space Science …, 2022 - Springer
Modelling the transport of cosmic rays (CRs) in the heliosphere represents a global
challenge in the field of heliophysics, in that such a study, if it were to be performed from first …

Coronal holes

SR Cranmer - Living reviews in solar physics, 2009 - Springer
Coronal holes are the darkest and least active regions of the Sun, as observed both on the
solar disk and above the solar limb. Coronal holes are associated with rapidly expanding …

Anisotropic scaling of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

TS Horbury, M Forman, S Oughton - Physical Review Letters, 2008 - APS
We present a quantitative estimate of the anisotropic power and scaling of magnetic field
fluctuations in inertial range magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, using a novel wavelet …

A model of turbulence in magnetized plasmas: Implications for the dissipation range in the solar wind

GG Howes, SC Cowley, W Dorland… - Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
This paper studies the turbulent cascade of magnetic energy in weakly collisional
magnetized plasmas. A cascade model is presented, based on the assumptions of local …

Spectral anisotropy in 2D plus slab magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the solar wind and upper corona

GP Zank, M Nakanotani, LL Zhao… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The 2D+ slab superposition model of solar wind turbulence has its theoretical foundations in
nearly incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (NI MHD) in the plasma beta∼ 1 or≪ 1 …

Who needs turbulence? A review of turbulence effects in the heliosphere and on the fundamental process of reconnection

WH Matthaeus, M Velli - Space science reviews, 2011 - Springer
The significant influences of turbulence in neutral fluid hydrodynamics are well accepted but
the potential for analogous effects in space and astrophysical plasmas is less widely …
