On the three-dimensional configuration of electrostatic solitary waves

The simplest models of the electrostatic solitary waves observed by the Geotail spacecraft in the magnetosphere are developed proceeding from the concept of electron phase space holes. The technique to construct the models is based on an approximate quasi-one-dimensional description of the electron...
