Ion-Acoustic Instabilities in a Multi-Ion Plasma

Abstract: We have, in this paper, studied the stability of the ion-acoustic wave in a plasma composed of hydrogen, positively and negatively charged oxygen ions, and electrons, which approximates very well the plasma environment around a comet. Modelling each cometary component (H+, O+, and O−) by a ring distribution, we find that ion-acoustic waves can be generated at frequencies comparable to the hydrogen ion plasma frequency. The dispersion relation has been solved both analytically and numerically. We find that the … Show more

“…[9] IAWs are one of the fundamental (low-frequency) waves which are easily observed in the plasma regimes of comets. [10] The international cometary explorer (ICE) spacecraft observed these waves from frequencies ranging from 1.0 to 1.5 kHz at Giacobini-Zinner's comet, and after that, the spacecraft Sakigake observed IAWs with frequencies rather less than 1.0 kHz at Halley's comet. [11] The Ulysses spacecraft during the first and second orbit also observed the IAWs in the solar wind.…”

“…D'Angelo and Song [12] presented the analysis of the hybrid-hybrid mode in negative ion plasmas. Abraham and Sebastian [13] have studied the instabilities of IAWs in a plasma comprising of electrons, hydrogen positive, and negatively charged oxygen ions. Akbari-Moghanjoughi [14] has studied the nonlinear growth of ion-acoustic waves which was periodically driven in plasma containing electrons and ions having adiabatic as well as isothermal ion fuids.…”
