Solar wind turbulence and the role of ion instabilities

O Alexandrova, CHK Chen, L Sorriso-Valvo… - Space Science …, 2013 - Springer
Solar wind is probably the best laboratory to study turbulence in astrophysical plasmas. In
addition to the presence of magnetic field, the differences with neutral fluid isotropic …

Shell models of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

F Plunian, R Stepanov, P Frick - Physics Reports, 2013 - Elsevier
Shell models of hydrodynamic turbulence originated in the seventies. Their main aim was to
describe the statistics of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence in spectral space, using a …

Ion‐scale spectral break of solar wind turbulence at high and low beta

CHK Chen, L Leung, S Boldyrev… - Geophysical …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The power spectrum of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind at 1 AU displays a break
between two power laws in the range of spacecraft‐frame frequencies 0.1 to 1 Hz. These …

Solar wind turbulent spectrum at plasma kinetic scales

O Alexandrova, C Lacombe, A Mangeney… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The description of the turbulent spectrum of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind in the
kinetic range of scales is not yet completely established. Here, we perform a statistical study …

Evidence for electron Landau dam** in space plasma turbulence

CHK Chen, KG Klein, GG Howes - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
How turbulent energy is dissipated in weakly collisional space and astrophysical plasmas is
a major open question. Here, we present the application of a field-particle correlation …

Spectrum of kinetic-Alfvén turbulence

S Boldyrev, JC Perez - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT A numerical study of strong kinetic-Alfvén turbulence at scales smaller than the
ion gyroscale is presented, and a phenomenological model is proposed that argues that …

Scaling of the electron dissipation range of solar wind turbulence

F Sahraoui, SY Huang, G Belmont… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Electron scale solar wind (SW) turbulence has attracted great interest in recent years.
Considerable evidence exists that the turbulence is not fully dissipated near the proton …

Nature of subproton scale turbulence in the solar wind

CHK Chen, S Boldyrev, Q ** in kinetic plasma turbulence

We present the first study of the formation and dissipation of current sheets at electron scales
in a wave-driven, weakly collisional, three-dimensional kinetic turbulence simulation. We …

Wave‐particle interaction of Alfvén waves in Jupiter's magnetosphere: Auroral and magnetospheric particle acceleration

J Saur, S Janser, A Schreiner, G Clark… - Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate spatial and temporal scales at which wave‐particle interaction of Alfvén
waves occurs in Jupiter's magnetosphere. We consider electrons, protons, and oxygen ions …
