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

When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

Understanding the formation of stars in galaxies is central to much of modern astrophysics.
However, a quantitative prediction of the star formation rate and the initial distribution of …

▪ Abstract Turbulence affects the structure and motions of nearly all temperature and density
regimes in the interstellar gas. This two-part review summarizes the observations, theory …

We examine the effect of weak, small-scale magnetic field structure on the rate of
reconnection in a strongly magnetized plasma. This affects the rate of reconnection by …

This paper summarises some of the recent progress that has been made in understanding
astrophysical plasma turbulence in the solar wind, from in situ spacecraft observations. At …

This paper presents a theoretical framework for understanding plasma turbulence in
astrophysical plasmas. It is motivated by observations of electromagnetic and density …

Among the various acceleration mechanisms which have been suggested as responsible for
the nonthermal particle spectra and associated radiation observed in many astrophysical …

We propose a phenomenological model for incompressible magnetohydrodynamic
turbulence. We argue that nonlinear-wave interaction weakens as the energy cascade …

ABSTRACT A three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model for the propagation
and dissipation of Alfvén waves in a coronal loop is developed. The model includes the …
