Shock electrostatic electron acoustic wave features in four-component electron–positron plasma

Abstract

The linear (nonlinear) wave properties of dissipative electron acoustic plasma have been studied. The impacts of temperatures and densities on the properties of linear real and imaginary (growth rate) plasma frequencies have been examined. The effects of viscosities in the linear growth rate are also studied. Accordingly, the significant shock-like electrostatic field in auroral plasmas has been discussed. Furthermore, the electrostatic dissipative fields have been studied to explain experimental observations. A comparison between the obtained electrostatic dissipative fields and satellite observations in auroral plasmas is briefly discussed.
