This paper reviews Vlasov-based numerical methods used to model plasma in space
physics and astrophysics. Plasma consists of collectively behaving charged particles that …

The complex interaction between shocks and plasma turbulence is extremely important to
address crucial features of energy conversion in a broad range of astrophysical systems. We …

We present a new algorithm for the discretization of the non-relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell
system of equations for the study of plasmas in the kinetic regime. Using the discontinuous …

The description of the local turbulent energy transfer and the high-resolution ion distributions
measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission together provide a formidable tool to …

Our understanding of processes occurring in the heliosphere historically began with
reduced dimensionality-one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) sketches and …

For the solar wind, a wealth of observational evidence indicates that turbulence is an
important dynamical process for velocity (v), magnetic (b), and other related fluctuations at …

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 …

The momentum anisotropy contained in a sheared flow may be transferred to a pressure
anisotropy, both gyrotropic and non-gyrotropic, via the action of the fluid strain on the …

Recent studies of particle acceleration in the heliosphere have revealed a new mechanism
that can locally energize particles up to several MeV nucleon–1. Stream–stream …

Context. The identification of proton core, proton beam, and alpha particles in solar wind ion
measurements is usually performed by applying specific fitting procedures to the particle …
