We perform 2.5D hybrid simulations to study the turbulent heating and acceleration of protons and minor ions in collisionless homogeneous fast solar wind. The focus of this work is wave-particle interactions at the intermediate ion scales, therefore the small-scale electrons are considered as charge-neutralizing isothermal fluid and the electron intertia in our approach is neglected. The...

In-situ measurements of magnetic field fluctuations in the terrestrial magnetosheath revealed differences between the quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel shock geometry. In the quasi-parallel case the fluctuations are strongly intermittent as suggested by the scale dependent non-Gaussian wings of the probability distribution functions (PDFs) and the scale dependent behaviour of their fourth...

The Large Yield RAdiometer (LYRA) is an ultraviolet irradiance
radiometer on-board ESA's PROBA2 micro-satellite. Since it's launch in
2009 it observes the Sun in four different passbands, chosen for their
relevance to solar physics, aeronomy and space weather. Flying on an
altitude of 735km, LYRA proved to be an excellent flare monitor and is
involved in the analysis the atmospheric...
