Abstract

Abstract Dynamical behaviors of ion-acoustic periodic wave (IAPW) and solitary wave (IASW) structures are examined in a three-component collisionless, magnetized solar wind plasma. The Schamel equation is derived and the effect of parameters like efficiency of electron trapping (\(\beta \)), temperature ratio of ion to proton (\(T_i/T_p\)) of the solar wind, \(\kappa -\)index, and traveling wave velocity (\(v_0\)) are considered on IAW solutions of obtained Schamel equation. Typical solar wind parameters are used for computational simulation. The result of the study can be useful to discern the wave features of solar wind plasma.KeywordsPhase plane analysisPeriodic waveSchamel equationSuprathermal electrons
