This paper shows a possibility of the existence and propagation of dust acoustic solitons in plasmas of dusty exosphere of the Moon, which contains, in addition to electrons and ions of the solar wind and photoelectrons from the lunar surface, also charged dust particles, as well as photoelectrons emitted from the surfaces of these particles. Soliton solutions are found and the ranges of possible velocities and amplitudes of such solitons are determined depending on the height above the lunar surface for different subsolar angles.
A possibility of propagation of localized wave structures, such as dust acoustic solitons, in dusty ionospheric plasmas, which contain photoelectrons, electrons and ions, as well as charged dust particles, is considered. The regions of possible velocities and amplitudes of solitons are determined. Soliton solutions are found for various sizes and number densities of dust particles in the dusty ionospheric plasmas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
