Dust-acoustic solitary and periodic waves in magnetized self-gravito-electrostatic opposite polarity dusty plasmas

Dust-acoustic (DA) solitary and periodic waves investigations were performed in a magnetized self-gravitating dusty plasma consisting of negatively and positively charged dust grains in the presence of inertialess ions and electrons. The Korteweg-de Vries-Burger (KdVB) equation has been derived. The numerical investigations revealed the compressive or rarefactive DA solitons depending on the plasma parameters. The nonlinear homoclinic and periodic trajectories from the KdVB equation were obtained for the phase portrait profiles when employing the phase plane theory of dynamical systems. The periodic wave solution depends also on the system parameters. The present results are considered to be beneficial in understanding the nonlinear structures in experimental devices and different astrophysical environments such as the Earth's mesosphere, cometary tails, and Jupiter's magnetosphere.

Automated summary

In this study, investigations on dust-acoustic solitary and periodic waves were conducted in a magnetized self-gravitating dusty plasma. The results obtained from numerical simulations and phase plane theory revealed the dependence of the waves on plasma parameters and their importance in understanding nonlinear structures in experimental devices and astrophysical environments.
