Electron-Ion Temperature Ratio in Transrelativistic Unmagnetized Shock Waves
Arno Vanthieghem, Vasileios Tsiolis, Frederico Fiuza +3
Weakly magnetized shock waves are paramount to a large diversity of environments, including supernova remnants, blazars, and binary-neutron-star mergers. Understanding the distribu…

Electron heating in high Mach number collisionless shocks
Arno Vanthieghem, Vasileios Tsiolis, Anatoly Spitkovsky +3
The energy partition in high Mach number collisionless shock waves is central to a wide range of high-energy astrophysical environments. We present a new theoretical model for elec…

Structure formation in turbulence as instability of effective quantum plasma
Vasileios Tsiolis, Yao Zhou, Ilya Y. Dodin
Structure formation in turbulence is effectively an instability of "plasma" formed by fluctuations serving as particles. These "particles" are quantumlike; namely, their wavelength…
