Abstract Solar Probe Plus (SPP) will be the first spacecraft to fly into the low solar corona.
SPP's main science goal is to determine the structure and dynamics of the Sun's coronal …

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 …

Abstract The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigation on Solar
Probe Plus is a four sensor instrument suite that provides complete measurements of the …

These lecture notes are based on a tutorial given in 2017 at a plasma physics winter school
in Les Houches. Their aim is to provide a self-contained graduate-student level introduction …

We find that clouds of optically thin, pressure-confined gas are prone to fragmentation as
they cool below∼ 106 K. This fragmentation follows the lengthscale∼ cst cool, ultimately …

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 …

We present results from three-dimensional hybrid-kinetic simulations of Alfvénic turbulence
in a high-β, collisionless plasma. The key feature of such turbulence is the interplay between …

The nature of small-scale turbulent fluctuations in the solar wind is investigated using a
comparison of Cluster magnetic and electric field measurements to predictions arising from …

An overview is given of important properties of spatial and temporal intermittency, including
evidence of its appearance in fluids, magnetofluids and plasmas, and its implications for …
