| Abstract: | The status of waves and instabilities in magnetized dusty plasmas is summarized. The effects of an external magnetic field
on low-frequency electrostatic and electromagnetic waves in dusty plasmas are discussed. The kinetic and hydrodynamic instabilities
are shown to excite magnetized dusty plasma waves. The presence of the latter can give rise to an oscillatory wake-potential
which can be responsible for the charged dust grain attraction. The relevance of our investigation to laboratory and space
plasmas has been pointed out.
