Current sheets, plasmoids and flux ropes in the heliosphere. Part II: Theoretical aspects

O. Pezzi, F. Pecora, J. le Roux +13

Our understanding of processes occurring in the heliosphere historically began with reduced dimensionality - one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) sketches and models, whic…

Coherent events at ion scales in the inner Heliosphere: \textit{Parker Solar Probe} observations during the first Encounter

Denise Perrone, Roberto Bruno, Raffaella D'Amicis +7

\textit{Parker Solar Probe} has shown the ubiquitous presence of strong magnetic field deflections, namely switchbacks, during its first perihelion where it was embedded in a highl…

Kinetic Entropy-Based Measures of Distribution Function Non-Maxwellianity: Theory and Simulations

Haoming Liang, M. Hasan Barbhuiya, P. A. Cassak +4

We investigate kinetic entropy-based measures of the non-Maxwellianity of distribution functions in plasmas, i.e., entropy-based measures of the departure of a local distribution f…

Novel aspects of cosmic ray diffusion in synthetic magnetic turbulence

Andrej Dundovic, Oreste Pezzi, Pasquale Blasi +2

The diffusive motion of charged particles in synthetic magnetic turbulence with different properties is investigated by using numerical simulations with unprecedented dynamical ran…

Kinetic Alfvén wave generation by velocity shear in collisionless plasmas

Teresa Maiorano, Adriana Settino, Francesco Malara +3

The evolution of a linearly-polarized, long-wavelength Alfvén wave --propagating in a collisionless magnetized plasma with a sheared parallel-directed velocity flow-- is here studi…

Sign singularity of the local energy transfer in space plasma turbulence

Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Gaetano De Vita, Federico Fraternale +18

In weakly collisional space plasmas, the turbulent cascade provides most of the energy that is dissipated at small scales by various kinetic processes. Understanding the characteri…
