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 near-Earth space is a unique laboratory to explore turbulence and energy dissipation
processes in magnetized plasmas thanks to the availability of high-quality data from various …

We present a combined observational and theoretical analysis to investigate the nature of
plasma turbulence at kinetic scales in the Earth's magnetosheath. In the first decade of the …

A new path for the generation of a sub-ion-scale cascade in collisionless space and
astrophysical plasma turbulence, triggered by magnetic reconnection, is uncovered by …

The understanding of the fundamental properties of turbulence in collisionless plasmas,
such as the solar wind, is a frontier problem in plasma physics. In particular, the occurrence …

Abstract Properties of the turbulent cascade from fluid to kinetic scales in collisionless
plasmas are investigated by means of large-size 3D hybrid (fluid electrons, kinetic protons) …

We use magnetic field and ion moment data from the MFI and SWE instruments on board the
Wind spacecraft to study the nature of solar wind turbulence at ion-kinetic scales. We …

We present a comprehensive study about the phenomenological implications of the theory
describing Galactic cosmic ray scattering on to magnetosonic and Alfvénic fluctuations in the …

We revisit the theory of stochastic heating of ions and investigate its phase-space signatures
in kinetic turbulence of relevance to low-β portions of the solar wind. In particular, we retain a …

We report the results of a direct comparison between different kinetic models of collisionless
plasma turbulence in two spatial dimensions. The models considered include a first …
