Jupiter is the source of the strongest planetary radio emissions in the solar system.
Variations in these emissions are symptomatic of the dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere …

Abstract Space plasmas present intriguing and challenging puzzles to the space community.
Energy accessible to excite instabilities exists in a variety of forms, particularly for the …

We report observations of “fast solitary waves” that are ubiquitous in downward current
regions of the mid‐altitude auroral zone. The single‐period structures have large amplitudes …

This is a tutorial and selective review explaining the fundamental concepts and some
currently open questions concerning the plasma phenomenon of the electron hole. The …

The POLAR plasma wave instrument often detects coherent electric field structures in the
high altitude polar magnetosphere. The structures appear to be positively charged potentials …

The present 15th volume of the ISSI Space Science Series is devoted to Auroral Plasma
Physics. The aurora is arguably the most intriguing phenomenon in space plasma physics …

The presence of the geometrical curvature makes the planar Korteweg–de Vries (KdV)
equation inadequate to describe the propagation of nonlinear waves. In many scientific …

We present observations of intense, bipolar, electrostatic structures in the transition region of
the terrestrial bow shock from the Wind spacecraft. The electric field signatures are on the …

We present computer experiments of electrostatic solitary waves (ESW) observed by Geotail
in the magnetotail. ESW correspond to broadband electrostatic noise, and they are excited …

Ion-acoustic waves are investigated in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma comprising
dynamical ions and inertialess cold and hot (C–H) electrons expressed by Maxwellian …
