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…

On the deviation from Maxwellian of the ion velocity distribution functions in the turbulent magnetosheath
Silvia Perri, D. Perrone, E. Yordanova +20
The degree of deviation from the thermodynamic equilibrium in the ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs), measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the Earth's…

Turbulence-generated proton-scale structures in the terrestrial magnetosheath
Zoltán Vörös, Emiliya Yordanova, Marius M. Echim +2
Recent results of numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations suggest that in collisionless space plasmas turbulence can spontaneously generate thin current sheets. These coherent st…
