Abstract In this paper, we will discuss asymptotic limit of non-isentropic compressible Euler-Maxwell system arising from plasma physics. Formally, we give some different limit systems according to the corresponding different scalings. Furthermore, some recent results about the convergence of non-isentropic compressible Euler-Maxwell system to the compressible Euler-Poisson equations will be given via the non-relativistic regime.
