Abstract

AbstractThe linear propagation of the low-frequency (compared to the electron gyrofrequency) electromagnetic (EM) waves in a self-gravitating, strongly coupled magnetized plasma with ultra-relativistic degenerate electron fluid is investigated. It is found that the dispersion properties of the EM waves and stability criteria for such a degenerate plasma are significantly modified by the effects of the ultra-relativistic degenerate electron pressure, strong co-relation among extremely dense ion fluid, and the direction of the EM wave propagation relative to the ambient magnetic field direction. The relevance of our investigation to stability of white dwarf stars is briefly discussed. It is particularly seen here that the cores of such stars are stable for the class of gravito-electrodynamic waves that are analyzed for the characteristic ranges of relevant physical parameters.
