The recent paper by Li et al. on electron quasi-thermal noise in the outer heliosphere is flawed. It assumes the plasma drift speed to be much smaller than the electron thermal speed, even though both quantities are of the same order of…

Thermalization and heating of plasma flows at shocks result in unstable charged-particle distributions which generate a wide range of electromagnetic waves. These waves, in turn, can further accelerate and scatter energetic particles. Thus,…
