Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large eruptions close to the solar surface, where plasma is ejected outwards into space at large speeds. When directed towards Earth, they interfere with Earth’s magnetic fields and cause strong geo-effective storms. In order to mitigate the potential damage, forecasting tools are implemented. Recently, a novel heliospheric modelling tool, Icarus, has been implemented, which exploits the open-source framework ...

As the most common, fundamental state of matter in the universe, plasmas are observed in a variety of phenomena, ranging from small-sized fusion experiments to gas clouds on stellar and interstellar scales. As a consequence, an assortment of models exists to describe plasma behaviour on different scales. Within each model the natural oscillations and instabilities supported by a particular plasma configuration can be studied to interpret the ...
