The solar wind as a turbulence laboratory

R Bruno, V Carbone - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2013 - Springer
In this review we will focus on a topic of fundamental importance for both astrophysics and
plasma physics, namely the occurrence of large-amplitude low-frequency fluctuations of the …

The multi-scale nature of the solar wind

D Verscharen, KG Klein, BA Maruca - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
The solar wind is a magnetized plasma and as such exhibits collective plasma behavior
associated with its characteristic spatial and temporal scales. The characteristic length …

Highly structured slow solar wind emerging from an equatorial coronal hole

SD Bale, ST Badman, JW Bonnell, TA Bowen… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
During the solar minimum, when the Sun is at its least active, the solar wind 1, 2 is observed
at high latitudes as a predominantly fast (more than 500 kilometres per second), highly …

equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

Evidence of a cascade and dissipation of solar-wind turbulence at the electron gyroscale

F Sahraoui, ML Goldstein, P Robert, YV Khotyaintsev - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
We report the first direct determination of the dissipation range of magnetofluid turbulence in
the solar wind at the electron scales. Combining high resolution magnetic and electric field …

Turbulent heating in galaxy clusters brightest in X-rays

I Zhuravleva, E Churazov, AA Schekochihin, SW Allen… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Abstract The hot (107 to 108 kelvin), X-ray-emitting intracluster medium (ICM) is the
dominant baryonic constituent of clusters of galaxies. In the cores of many clusters, radiative …

Gyrokinetic simulations of turbulent transport

X Garbet, Y Idomura, L Villard, TH Watanabe - Nuclear Fusion, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
This overview is an assessment of the gyrokinetic framework and simulations to compute
turbulent transport in fusion plasmas. It covers an introduction to the gyrokinetic theory, the …

High-frequency heating of the solar wind triggered by low-frequency turbulence

J Squire, R Meyrand, MW Kunz, L Arzamasskiy… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
The fast solar wind's high speeds and non-thermal features require that considerable
heating occurs well above the Sun's surface. Two leading theories seem incompatible: low …
