DOI: 10.1002/2016ja023670
Abstract: It has long been suggested that whistler waves play an active role during magnetic reconnection. However, all previous observations were based on case studies and could not give a detailed picture as to where the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0022377825000078
Abstract: High-beta magnetised plasmas often exhibit anomalously structured temperature profiles, as seen from galaxy cluster observations and recent experiments. It is well known that when such plasmas are collisionless, temperature gradients along the magnetic field can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz830
Abstract: The hot beaming (or strahl) electrons responsible for the main electron heat-flux in the solar wind are believed to be self-regulated by the electromagnetic beaming instabilities, also known as the heat-flux instabilities. Here we report… read more here.
