Magnetohydrodynamic Waves in a Partially Ionized Filament Thread
Oscillations and propagating waves are commonly seen in high-resolution observations of filament threads, i.e., the fine-structures of solar filaments/prominences. Since the temperature of prominences is typically of the order of 104 K, the prominence plasma is only partially ionized. In this paper, we study the effect of neutrals on the wave propagation in a filament thread modeled as a partia...
متن کاملProduction of Alfvén waves by a rapidly expanding dense plasma.
The expansion of a dense (initially, n(lpp)/n(0)>>1) laser-produced plasma into an ambient magnetized plasma ( n(0) = 2 x 10(12) cm(-3)) capable of supporting Alfvén waves has been studied. The interaction results in the production of shear Alfvén waves as well as large density perturbations (Delta n/n(0) approximately 0.3) associated with the moving dense plasma. The waves propagate away from ...
متن کاملEnergy Cascades in a Partially Ionized Astrophysical Plasma
A local turbulence model is developed to study energy cascades in the interstellar medium (ISM) based on self-consistent two-dimensional fluid simulations. The model describes a partially ionized magnetofluid interstellar medium (ISM) that couples a neutral hydrogen fluid with a plasma primarily through charge exchange interactions. Charge exchange interactions are ubiquitous in warm ISM plasma...

متن کاملInstability of ion kinetic waves in a weakly ionized plasma.
The fundamental higher-order Landau plasma modes are known to be generally heavily damped. We show that these modes for the ion component in a weakly ionized plasma can be substantially modified by ion-neutral collisions and a dc electric field driving ion flow so that some of them can become unstable. This instability is expected to naturally occur in presheaths of gas discharges at sufficient...
