Large-amplitude electromagnetic waves in magnetized relativistic plasmas with temperature [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2014
Propagation of large-amplitude waves in plasmas is subject to several sources of nonlinearity due to relativistic effects, either when particle quiver velocities in the wave field are large, or when thermal velocities are large due to relativistic ...

Review Article: MHD Wave propagation near coronal null points of magnetic fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We present a comprehensive review of MHD wave behaviour in the neighbourhood of coronal null points: locations where the magnetic field, and hence the local Alfvén speed, is zero. The behaviour of all three MHD wave modes, i.e.

Energy exchange and wave action conservation for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in a general, slowly varying medium [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2014
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in the solar wind and magnetosphere are propagated in a medium whose velocity is comparable to or greater than the wave velocity and which varies in both space and time. In the approximation where the scales of the time

Definition of the Alfvén mode in inhomogeneous magnetic field

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2023
The article is methodological and defines the concept of the linear Alfvén mode. There are two definitions — electrodynamic and hydrodynamic. In the former, the Alfvén mode is considered a wave with a potential transverse electric field.

Alfvén ship waves: high-m ULF pulsations in the magnetosphere generated by a moving plasma inhomogeneity [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2008
The generation of a high-m Alfvén wave by substorm injected energetic particles in the magnetosphere is studied. The wave is supposed to be emitted by an alternating current created by the drifting particle cloud or ring current inhomogeneity.

Simultaneous Compressive Kinetic‐Scale Fluctuations and Second‐Harmonic Proton Cyclotron Waves Inside a Martian Magnetosheath Structure

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Mars directly interacts with the solar wind and hosts a complex plasma‐wave environment. Using MAVEN observations, we identify an event in the dusk‐side Martian magnetosheath where strongly compressive sub‐cyclotron kinetic‐scale fluctuations coexist with second‐harmonic proton cyclotron waves (PCWs).

The Evolution of High Temperature Plasma in Magnetar Magnetospheres and its Implications for Giant Flares

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper we propose a new mechanism describing the initial spike of giant flares in the framework of the starquake model. We investigate the evolution of a plasma on a closed magnetic flux tube in the magnetosphere of a magnetar in the case of a ...

Generation of Alfvén waves in magnetized plasma by laser plasma bunches at Mach numbers much less than unity

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2022
In this paper, we examine a torsional Alfvén wave produced by periodic plasma bunches in a magnetized plasma flux tube. A new effect has been revealed: the wave is generated not only during the action of bunches, but also for a long time after the ...

Evolution of Magnetospheric Boundary Layers Under the 10 May 2024 ICME Impact

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract On 10 May 2024, an interplanetary coronal mass ejection‐driven shock impacted the dayside magnetopause, compressing it to ∼5 RE. A northward interplanetary magnetic field suppressed dayside reconnection and allowed a clear investigation of the magnetosphere response.

Kink oscillations in magnetic tubes with twisted annulus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Aims.We study kink waves in a magnetic flux tube modelled as a straight core surrounded by a magnetically twisted annulus, both embedded in a straight ambient external field, and derive the dispersion relation for this configuration.
