[1] It is shown that ion-acoustic waves propagating along an external magnetic field and generated by parametric decays of circularly polarized finite amplitude waves have the properties of ion-acoustic waves observed ...

It is well known that in plasmas with β = (νs/νA)2 < 1 (νs is the ion acoustic velocity and νA is the Alfvén velocity), Alfvén waves propagating along an external magnetic field can have three kinds of parametric ...

We study the stability of electromagnetic waves for nongyrotropic velocity distribution functions in a solar-wind-like plasma. The dispersion relation is solved numerically in closed form. On the basis of recently reported ...

An analytical expansion of the disturbing function arising from direct planetary perturbations on the motion of satellites is derived. As a Fourier series, it allows the investigation of the secular effects of these direct ...

Context. Detections of molecular lines, mainly from H-2 and CO, reveal molecular material in planetary nebulae. Observations of a variety of molecules suggest that the molecular composition in these objects differs from ...

We study ion acoustic damping effects on parametric decays of right-hand-polarized electromagnetic waves. We do this because ion beams have been observed in a variety of space environments, and consequently, these waves ...

A method is developed for estimating F region ion composition from incoherent scatter radar (ISR) measurements during times of frictional ion heating. The technique addresses ion temperature-mass ambiguities in the IS ...
