Nongyrotropic particle distributions in space plasmas [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1999 In nonstationary, strong inhomogeneous or open plasmas particle orbits are rather complicated. If the nonstationary time scale is smaller than the gyration period, if the inhomogeneity scale is smaller than the gyration radius, i.e. at magnetic plasma

Wave Model Development in Multi-Ion Plasmas [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999 Near-earth space is composed of plasmas which embed a number of plasma waves. Space plasmas consist of electrons and multi-ion that determine local wave propagation characteristics.

Velocity-space cascade in magnetized plasmas: Numerical simulations [PDF]
Physics of Plasmas, 2018 Plasma turbulence is studied via direct numerical simulations in a two-dimensional spatial geometry. Using a hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell model, we investigate the possibility of a velocity-space cascade.

On the violation of the zeroth law of turbulence in space plasmas [PDF]
Journal of Plasma Physics, 2020 The zeroth law of turbulence states that, for fixed energy input into large-scale motions, the statistical steady state of a turbulent system is independent of microphysical dissipation properties. This behaviour, which is fundamental to nearly all fluid-

The cosmic ray-driven streaming instability in astrophysical and space plasmas
Physics of Plasmas, 2021 Energetic non-thermal particles, or cosmic rays, are a major component of astrophysical plasmas next to magnetic fields, radiation, and thermal gas.

Electromagnetic ion cyclotron instability stimulated by the suprathermal ions in space plasmas: A quasi-linear approach [PDF]
Physics of Plasmas, 2020 In collision-poor space plasmas, protons with an excess of kinetic energy or temperature in the direction perpendicular to the background magnetic field can excite the electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) instability.

On the Existence of Subsonic Solitary Waves Associated with Reconnection Jets in Earth’s Magnetotail
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Magnetospheric Multiscale Spacecraft (MMS) has detected the signature of electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) occurring in the reconnection jet site of the Earth’s magnetotail (Liu et al.). These observations have motivated us to explore the mechanism

Relationship between Polytropic Index and Temperature Anisotropy in Space Plasmas [PDF]
, 2020 The paper develops a theoretical relationship between the polytropic index and the temperature anisotropy that may characterize space plasmas. The derivation is based on the correlation among the kinetic energies of particles with velocities described by
