Large-Amplitude Solitary Waves In Finite Temperature Dusty Plasma, R. Roychoudhury, S. Mukherjee
Large-Amplitude Solitary Waves In Finite Temperature Dusty Plasma, R. Roychoudhury, S. Mukherjee
Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications and Presentations
Large-amplitude solitary waves in dusty plasma are investigated, taking into account the dusty particle temperature. It is shown that finite dusty temperature restricts the region for the existence of solitary waves.

We report on an extensive statistical study of single radio pulsar properties, which we undertook to estimate the decay timescale of pulsar magnetic fields. We synthesized a population of pulsars using assumed theoretical distributions of age, initial magnetic field, period of rotation, position, luminosity, and dispersion measure, taking into account the new distance model for pulsars as well as new velocity estimates. We also took into account the selection effects that characterize pulsar observations. We compared the simulated population with the observed single pulsar population using one- and two-dimensional Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests to obtain a lower bound of ∼160 Myr on …
