One characteristic trait of space plasmas is the multi-scale dynamics resulting from non-
linear transfers and conversions of various forms of energy. Routinely evidenced in a range …

Mounting evidence indicates that neutrinos likely undergo fast flavor conversion (FFC) in at
least some core-collapse supernovae. Outcomes of FFC, however, remain highly uncertain …

Observed turbulence in space and astrophysics is expected to involve cascade and
subsequent dissipation and heating. Contrary to standard collisional fluid turbulence, the …

In fast wind or when the local Coulomb collision frequency is low, observations show that
solar wind minor ions and ion subpopulations flow with different bulk velocities …

The physical foundations of the dissipation of energy and the associated heating in weakly
collisional plasmas are poorly understood. Here, we compare and contrast several …

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 …

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 …

Spacecraft observations have shown that the proton temperature in the solar wind falls off
with radial distance more slowly than expected for an adiabatic prediction. Usually, previous …

We develop first-principles theory of kinetic plasma turbulence governed by the Vlasov-
Maxwell-Landau equations in the limit of vanishing collision rates. Following an exact …
