Small-scale challenges to $\Lambda$CDM cosmology require a deeper understanding of dark matter physics.This paper aims to develop maximum entropy distributions for dark matter particle velocity (denoted by $X$), speed (denoted by $Z$), and…
The single-ionization rate coefficient of a plasma neutral depends both on the microscopic electron-impact cross section and on the macroscopic shape of the electron energy distribution function (EEDF). We present a reproducible benchmark…
Energetic electrons accelerated at coronal reconnection sites during solar flares precipitate into the lower solar atmosphere, generating nonthermal emissions and regulating energy deposition. However, how their transport and precipitation…
During solar flares a large amount of electrons with energies greater than 20 keV is generated with a production rate of typically $10^{36}$ s$^{-1}$. A part of them is able to propagate along open magnetic field lines through the corona…

Context. Among others, shocks are known to be accelerators of energetic charged particles. However, many questions regarding the acceleration efficiency and the required conditions are not fully understood. In particular, the acceleration…
The wake behind a large object (such as the moon) moving rapidly through a plasma (such as the solar wind) contains a region of depleted density, into which the plasma expands along the magnetic field, transverse to the flow. It is shown…
