[HTML][HTML] The multi-scale nature of the solar wind
D Verscharen, KG Klein, BA Maruca - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
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 …

High-frequency heating of the solar wind triggered by low-frequency turbulence
The fast solar wind's high speeds and non-thermal features require that considerable
heating occurs well above the Sun's surface. Two leading theories seem incompatible: low …

Kinetic Turbulence in Collisionless High- Plasmas
We present results from three-dimensional hybrid-kinetic simulations of Alfvénic turbulence
in a high-β, collisionless plasma. The key feature of such turbulence is the interplay between …

Pressure–strain interaction as the energy dissipation estimate in collisionless plasma
The dissipative mechanism in weakly collisional plasma is a topic that pervades decades of
studies without a consensus solution. We compare several energy dissipation estimates …
