Exact solitary Alfven wave
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
An exact solitary Alfven wave is found using kinetic theory. The wave has a long structure in the direction of an ambient magnetic field and a short structure with a size comparable to an ion gyroradius in the perpendicular direction. It propagates in a direction oblique to the ambient magnetic field. (AIP)
