Kinetic Turbulence in Astrophysical Plasmas: Waves and/or Structures?

Chen, Christopher H. K.; Grošelj, Daniel; Mallet, Alfred +3 more

The question of the relative importance of coherent structures and waves has for a long time attracted a great deal of interest in astrophysical plasma turbulence research, with a more recent focus on kinetic scale dynamics. Here we utilize high-resolution observational and simulation data to investigate the nature of waves and structures emerging…
