Plasmas in the solar system represent an unprecedented opportunity to learn about how basic processes such as turbulence and dissipation work in astrophysical environments, as well as their impacts on the large-scale dynamics. This is because they are the only astrophysical plasmas that can be directly probed in situ by spacecraft, which provide a wealth of data to characterise these processes...

Collisionless shocks are an ubiquitous phenomena in astrophysical plasmas in the form of bow shocks upstream of magnetized planetary bodies (and unmagnetized objects like comets and Venus), interplanetary shocks, supernova blast waves, and stellar astrospheres. Despite their ubiquity, there are still numerous processes associated with collisionless shocks that are not well understood. One of...
