- In this paper, we demonstrate that this singularity can be completely removed away by the combination of direct use of the 2nd-moment of the Vlasov equation and an ingenious gyrotropization model.

- Gyrotropization occurs at scales substantially larger than the shock width. Isotropization is much slower than gyrotropization and occurs at even significantly larger scales.
