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 …

How has the solar wind evolved to reach what it is today? In this review, I discuss the long-
term evolution of the solar wind, including the evolution of observed properties that are …

In situ measurements of the solar wind have been available for almost 60 years, and in that
time plasma physics simulation capabilities have commenced and ground‐based solar …

The corona is a layer of hot plasma that surrounds the Sun, traces out its complex magnetic
field, and ultimately expands into interplanetary space as the supersonic solar wind …

This paper deals with acceleration processes in the magnetotail and the processes that
enhance particle precipitation from the tail into the ionosphere through electric fields in the …

In the past few years, several major space missions have been completed (eg, Deep Impact,
LCROSS, Chandrayaan-1, Stardust, Hayabusa), and a number of spacecraft are currently …

Spectral and pseudospectral methods have become increasingly popular as higher order
methods for the solution of partial differential and integral equations (Azaïez et al. 2013). A …

The atmospheres of highly irradiated exoplanets are observed to undergo hydrodynamic
escape. However, due to strong pressures, stellar winds can confine planetary atmospheres …

We use a statistically significant set of measurements to show that the field-aligned electron
heat flux q∥ in the solar wind at 1 AU is consistent with the Spitzer–Härm collisional heat …

The review summarises recent theoretical achievements and observational manifestations
of a new, recently discovered type of nonlinear oscillations in multi-component plasmas …
