Stochastic Fermi Energization of Coronal Plasma during explosive magnetic energy release
Theophilos Pisokas, Loukas Vlahos, Heinz Isliker +2
The aim of this study is to analyze the interaction of charged particles (ions and electrons) with randomly formed particle scatterers (e.g.\ large scale local "magnetic fluctuatio…
Limits of applicability of the quasilinear approximation to the electrostatic wave-plasma interaction
Georgios Zacharegkas, Heinz Isliker, Loukas Vlahos
The limitation of the Quasilinear Theory (QLT) to describe the diffusion of electrons and ions in velocity space when interacting with a spectrum of large amplitude electrostatic L…
Particle Acceleration and Heating by Turbulent Reconnection
Loukas Vlahos, Theophilos Pisokas, Heinz Isliker +2
Turbulent flows in the solar wind, large scale current sheets, multiple current sheets, and shock waves lead to the formation of environments in which a dense network of current sh…
An observationally-driven kinetic approach to coronal heating
K. Moraitis, A. Toutountzi, H. Isliker +3
Coronal heating through the explosive release of magnetic energy remains an open problem in solar physics. Recent hydrodynamical models attempt an investigation by placing swarms o…
Complexity Methods Applied to Turbulence in Plasma Astrophysics
Loukas Vlahos, Heinz Isliker
In this review many of the well known tools for the analysis of Complex systems are used in order to study the global coupling of the turbulent convection zone with the solar atmos…
