Fast Magnetosonic Waves Driven by Gravitational Waves
The propagation of a gravitational wave (GW) through a magnetized plasma is considered. In particular, we study the excitation of fast magnetosonic waves (MSW) by a gravitational wave, using the linearized general-relativistic hydromagnetic equations. We derive the dispersion relation for the plasma, treating the gravitational wave as a perturbation in a Minkowski background space-time. We show...
متن کاملCosmic ray acceleration by fast magnetosonic waves
Recently, Schlickeiser and Miller have calculated anew the acceleration rate of cosmic rays by fast magnetosonic plasma waves in a small-beta plasma, using a linear dispersion relation. They found that the transit-time damping of fast mode waves provides the dominant contribution to the stochastic acceleration rate of cosmic ray particles, both, in pure fast mode wave turbulence as well as in a...
متن کاملFast magnetosonic waves in pulsar winds
Fast magnetosonic waves in a magnetically-dominated plasma are investigated. In the pulsar wind, these waves may transport a significant fraction of the energy flux. It is shown that the nonlinear steepening and subsequent formation of multiple shocks is a viable mechanism for the wave dissipation in the pulsar wind. The wave dissipation both in the free pulsar wind and beyond the wind terminat...
متن کاملFast magnetosonic waves launched by transient, current sheet reconnection
A model is investigated describing the resistive dissipation of a finite, two-dimensional current sheet subject to suddenly enhanced resistivity. The resistivity rapidly diffuses the current to a distance where it couples to fast magnetosonic modes. The current then propagates away as a sheath moving at the local Alfvén speed. A current density peak remains at the X-point producing a steady ele...
متن کاملSwing Absorption ’ of fast magnetosonic waves in inhomogeneous media
The recently suggested swing interaction between fast magnetosonic and Alfvén waves (Zaqarashvili & Roberts 2002a) is generalized to inhomogeneous media. We show that the fast magnetosonic waves propagating across an applied non-uniform magnetic field can parametrically amplify the Alfvén waves propagating along the field through the periodical variation of the Alfvén speed. The resonant Alfvén...
