Scaling laws for the energy transfer in space plasma turbulence

R Marino, L Sorriso-Valvo - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
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 …

Magnetohydrodynamic waves in open coronal structures

D Banerjee, S Krishna Prasad, V Pant… - Space Science …, 2021 - Springer
Modern observatories have revealed the ubiquitous presence of magnetohydrodynamic

Coherent events at ion scales in the inner heliosphere: Parker solar probe observations during the first encounter

D Perrone, R Bruno, R D'amicis, D Telloni… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Parker Solar Probe mission has shown the ubiquitous presence of strong
magnetic field deflections, namely switchbacks, during its first perihelion where it was …

Energy dissipation and entropy in collisionless plasma

S Du, GP Zank, X Li, F Guo - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
It is well known that collisionless systems are dissipation free from the perspective of particle
collision and thus conserve entropy. However, processes such as magnetic reconnection …
