Transport of electrons in tangled magnetic fields
Daniel Verscharen, Natasha Jeffrey, Anton Artemyev +6
Cosmic magnetic fields are typically inhomogeneous and often highly tangled due to large-scale plasma flows, turbulence, and instabilities. If the variations in the magnetic field…
The Damping and Instability of Ion-acoustic Waves in the Solar Wind: Solar Orbiter Observations
Hao Ran, Daniel Verscharen, Jesse Coburn +6
Observations of solar wind velocity distribution functions (VDFs) commonly reveal fine-scale structures. These features strongly influence kinetic processes such as wave damping an…
A Non-Spherical Model for the Solar Coronal Magnetic Field
Ziqi Wu, Jiansen He, Chuanpeng Hou +7
The coronal magnetic field plays a fundamental role in governing coronal activities, driving space-weather events, and shaping the heliosphere. Due to a lack of direct observations…
Significant Amplification of Turbulent Energy Dissipation through the Shock Transition at Mars
Wence Jiang, Hui Li, Nahuel Andrés +3
Turbulence is fundamental to energy transfer across scales in space and astrophysical plasmas. Bow shock interactions have long been hypothesized to significantly modify turbulence…
The Dielectric Response of Plasmas with Arbitrary Gyrotropic Velocity Distributions
Kristopher Klein, Daniel Verscharen
Hot and tenuous plasmas are frequently far from local thermodynamic equilibrium, necessitating sophisticated methods for determining the associated plasma dielectric tensor and nor…
