The physics of collisionless shocks is a very broad topic, which has been well studied for
many decades. However, there are a number of important issues which remain unresolved …

In the two decades prior to the launch of Cluster, collisionless shocks at which the magnetic
field in the unshocked plasma is nearly perpendicular to the shock normal ('quasi …

This two-part book is devoted to classic fundamentals and current practices and
perspectives of modern plasma astrophysics. This first part uniquely covers all the basic …

The physics of collisionless shocks is a very broad topic which has been studied for more
than five decades. However, there are a number of important issues which remain …

Electron heating at collisionless shocks in space is a combination of adiabatic heating due
to large‐scale electric and magnetic fields and non‐adiabatic scattering by high‐frequency …

Collisionless shocks are loosely defined as shocks where the transition between pre-and
post-shock states happens on a length scale much shorter than the collisional mean free …

In this study, we present the first-ever direct measurements of synchrotron-emitting
heliospheric traveling shocks, intercepted by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) during its close …

We review the theory of shock drift acceleration, develo** the theory in detail for
gyrophaseaveraged particles. It is shown howboth the upstream and downstream velocity …

We present the first laboratory observations of time-resolved electron and ion velocity
distributions in magnetized collisionless shock precursors. Thomson scattering of a probe …
