Anomalous width variation of rarefactive ion acoustic solitary waves in the context of auroral plasmas
The presence of dynamic, large amplitude solitary waves in the auroral regions of space is well known. Since their velocities are of the order of the ion acoustic speed, they may well be considered as being generated from the nonlinear evolution of ion acoustic waves. However, they do not show the e...
