The "Theory and Simulation of Solar System Plasmas" session is a forum for presenting recent results related to theoretical and numerical investigation of heliospheric plasmas. Our regions of interest are the Sun and its corona, the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres. Processes of interest are magnetic reconnection, turbulence, shock waves, plasma instabilities, plasma heating and particle acceleration. We particularly welcome studies integrating numerical modeling, theoretical investigations and in-situ measurements/remote observations from current and future space missions (MMS, Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, Bepi Colombo, ASO-S, Aditya-L1, SMILE, HelioSwarm, SPO, Plasma Observatory...). Any modeling approach, from global to kinetic, is at home here. We particularly encourage submissions on global modeling that go beyond single fluid MHD. The focus of this year's session is the integration of kinetic-scale information into larger-scale models of heliospheric plasmas.
