The electrons are an essential particle species in the solar wind. They often exhibit non-
equilibrium features in their velocity distribution function. These include temperature …

Turbulence and kinetic processes in magnetized space plasmas have been extensively
investigated over the past decades via in-situ spacecraft measurements, theoretical models …

Turbulence is often invoked to explain the origin of nonthermal particles in space and
astrophysical plasmas. By means of 3D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations, we …

Does overall thermal equilibrium exist between ions and electrons in a weakly collisional,
magnetized, turbulent plasma? And, if not, how is thermal energy partitioned between ions …

Plasmas are highly nonlinear and multiscale, motivating a hierarchy of models to
understand and describe their behavior. However, there is a scarcity of plasma models of …

Turbulent magnetic reconnection is believed to occur in astrophysical plasmas, and it has
been suggested to be a trigger of solar flares. It often occurs in long stretched and …

We investigate the spectral properties of the electromagnetic fluctuations of sub-ion scale
turbulence in weakly collisional, low-beta plasmas using a two-field isothermal gyrofluid …

We report analytical and numerical investigations of subion-scale turbulence in low-beta
plasmas using a rigorous reduced kinetic model. We show that efficient electron heating …

We perform a statistical study of the turbulent power spectrum at inertial and kinetic scales
observed during the first perihelion encounter of the Parker Solar Probe. We find that often …

Electron and ion energization (ie, heating and nonthermal acceleration) is a fundamental,
but poorly understood, outcome of plasma turbulence. In this work, we present new results …
