| Abstract: | The current-driven electrostatic solitons and shocks are investigated in flowing plasmas having stationary dust and non-Maxwellian electrons. The propagation of solar wind parallel to the external magnetic field in the boundary regions of dusty magnetospheres of planets can give rise to drift type unstable electrostatic waves and nonlinear structures even if density is homogeneous. These waves can be produced in laboratory plasma experiments as well. Here the theoretical model is applied to Saturn’s magnetosphere. |
