A note on the existence of Alfven surface waves
, 1982 The Alfven surface waves can arise due to the discontinuity in the Alfven speed across the interface along which these waves propagate. This note studies the relationship between v A1 and v A2 which is required for the existence of Alfven surface waves ...

On resistive dissipation of Alfvén waves in an isothermal atmosphere
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1996 In this paper we will examine the reflection and dissipation of Alfvén waves, resulting from a uniform vertical magnetic field, in an inviscid, resistive and isothermal atmosphere.

The Energy Content of Alfvén Waves in the Stratified Solar Atmosphere
The Astrophysical JournalAlfvén waves propagating in a vertically stratified plasma, such as those traveling from the solar photosphere to the corona, are partially reflected due to the gradient in the Alfvén speed.

Identification of widespread turbulence of dispersive Alfven waves
, 2000 This paper presents a comprehensive review of dispersive Alfven waves in space and laboratory plasmas. We start with linear properties of Alfven waves and show how the inclusion of ion gyroradius, parallel electron inertia, and finite frequency effects ...

On the Correlation between Alfvén Waves and Auroral Radio Emissions in the Jovian System
The Astrophysical JournalJupiter’s powerful aurorae reflect intense energy dissipation in the magnetosphere–ionosphere system. Recent studies reveal that solar wind compression systematically enhances auroral emission, while the mechanism is not yet fully understood.

On the kinetic Alfven waves in nonrelativistic spin quantum plasmas
, 2013 We have studied the effect of electron spin on the kinetic Alfven waves in the presence of uniform static magnetic field in an electron-ion plasma. We deduce that the usual kinetic Alfven waves are modified via spin quantum effects of electrons.

Investigating the Role of Inward Alfvén Waves and Structures in the Slow Solar Wind
The Astrophysical JournalThe solar wind dynamics are thought to be governed by counter-propagating Alfvén waves. Alfvén waves generate a turbulent cascade through nonlinear couplings between shearing wave packets. However, imbalances, structures, and intermittency complicate the

Alfvén Wave Propagation in the Io Plasma Torus
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system, fuels a plasma torus around Jupiter with dissociation products of SO2 at a rate of ~1,000 kg/s.

DISCRETE-ALFVEN WAVES IN SOLAR LOOP PROMINENCES
, 2015 It is shown that a discrete Alfven wave can explain the natural oscillations of solar loop prominences by considering the existence of a current flow. Discrete Alfven waves are a new class of Alfven waves which is described by the inclusion of the finite
