ABSTRACT We have studied the evolution of ion acoustic solitary waves (IASWs) in pulsar wind. The pulsar wind is modelled by considering a weakly relativistic unmagnetized collisionless plasma comprised of relativistic ions and superthermal electrons and positrons. Through fluid simulations, we have demonstrated that the localized ion density perturbations generated in the polar wind plasma can evolve the relativistic IASW pulses. It is found that the concentration of positrons, relativistic factor, superthermality of electrons, and positrons have a significant influence on the dynamical evolution of IASW pulses. Our results may provide insight to understand the evolution of IASW pulses and their role in astrophysical plasmas, especially in the relativistic pulsar winds with supernova outflow, which is responsible for the production of superthermal particles and relativistic ions.

AbstractThe properties of non-planar (cylindrical and spherical) ion acoustic solitary waves (IASWs) in an unmagnetized collisionless electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma, whose constituents are inertial ions and superthermal/non-Maxwellian electrons and positrons (represented by the kappa (κ) distribution), are investigated by deriving the modified Gardner (MG) equation. The well-known reductive perturbation method is employed to derive the MG equation. The basic features of non-planar IA Gardner solitons (GSs) are discussed. It is seen that the properties of non-planar IAGSs (positive and negative) differ significantly as the value of spectral index kappa changes.

Abstract In this work, we are concerned with the ion acoustic quasi-soliton in an electron-positron-ion plasma with superthermal electrons and positrons. By using the reductive perturbation method, the Korteweg-de Vries equation is derived from the governing equations of ion acoustic waves. An interesting soliton-cnoidal wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and its quasi-soliton behaviour are presented. The influence of electron superthermality, positron superthermality and positron concentration ratio on characteristics of the quasi-soliton is confirmed to be significant.
