Nuclear acoustic envelope soliton in a relativistically degenerate magneto-rotating stellar plasma

Abstract

The study explores a model called Relativistic Degenerate Magneto-Rotating Quantum Plasma (RDMRQP), which comprises a static heavy nucleus, an inertial non-degenerate light nucleus, and warm non-relativistic or ultra-relativistic electrons. The focus is on observing the emergence of Nucleus-Acoustic Envelope Solitons (NAESs). Using the reductive perturbation method, a Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE) is derived to characterize the properties of NAESs. We have analysed the Peregrine breather soliton solution. The investigation reveals that the temperature of warm degenerate species, plasma system's rotational speed, and the presence of heavy nucleus species can alter the fundamental features (height and width) of NAESs in the WDMRQP system. The study emphasizes the existence of only positive NA wave potential. Additionally, a phase plane analysis is conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the parametric dependencies. Through detailed mathematical and numerical analysis, the study avoids overloading with complex mathematics while demonstrating parametric dependence via phase portrait analysis. The research augments the envelop soliton model with breather mode solutions and discusses modulation instability using the Benjamin-Feir Index, highlighting the significance of solitons in star formation. Envelop solitons, stable waves within stars and proto-stars, influence energy transport and stellar evolution, playing a crucial role in the accretion process and formation of stable structures. Key findings include the effects of various parameters on NAESs' generation and propagation in which non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic electrons support NAESs, with amplitude and width influenced by temperature, rotational frequency, inclination angle, and the presence of a static heavy nucleus. The research is applicable to hot white dwarfs and neutron stars, suggesting further exploration of quantum effects and non-planar or arbitrary amplitude NAESs.
