The motion of a collisionless plasma - a high-temperature, low-density, ionized gas - is described by the Vlasov-Maxwell (VM) system. These equations are considered in one space dimension and two momentum dimensions without the assumption of relativistic velocity corrections. The main results are bounds on the spatial and velocity supports of the particle distribution function and uniform estimates on derivatives of this function away from the critical velocity $\vert v_1 \vert = 1$. Additionally, for initial particle distributions that are even in the second velocity argument $v_2$, the global-in-time existence of solutions is shown.

Keywords: Kinetic theory, global existence., Vlasov-Maxwell.
