Dust-acoustic periodic travelling waves in a magnetized dusty plasma with trapped ions and nonthermal electrons in astrophysical situations: oblique excitations

Obliquely propagating three-dimensional dust-acoustic periodic travelling waves (DAPTWs) in a magnetized dusty plasma composed of negatively charged inertial dust particles, trapped ions, and nonthermal fast electrons have been undertaken. In the dusty plasma model at hand, the dynamic behaviors of DAPTWs are governed by a Schamel equation. The presence of dust acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) and DAPTWs is investigated via bifurcation analysis of the Hamiltonian system. In the nonlinear regime, the Sagdeev potential and phase portrait structures indicate the presence of small-amplitude DAPTW solutions. The influences of intrinsic physical parameters include the strength of the static magnetic field, the obliqueness of propagation, the thermal pressure of charged dust grains, the electron to dust density ratio, the trapping parameter of trapped ions, and the degree of nonthermality of fast electrons on the characteristics of DAPTWs are simulated numerically. In particular, the findings illustrate that the amplitude of DAPTWs is reduced as the numerical values of the trapping parameter are decreased. Interestingly, the theoretical simulations of numerical results can significantly highlight the physical nature of DAPTWs in astrophysical situations such as Earth's magnetosphere, auroral region, and heliospheric environments.
