Abstract

We considered a dense plasma containing electrons, positrons, ions and dust particles in background magnetic and gravitational fields alongside collisional effects for the heavier species (ions and dust particles). Such plasmas are found in magnetars, black hole accretion disks, and so on. The quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model was used to construct the governing equations of the plasma. Relativistic degeneracy pressure is taken as the equation of state for the electrons and positrons. Effects of exchange-correlation potential were also considered for the lighter species. We employed the reductive perturbation method (RPM) in order to obtain the Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) equation describing 3-D ion acoustic waves (IAWs) with minimal lateral perturbations. Low order analytical solutions allow us to understand the parametric dependence of said structures. Our newly developed numerical technique: homotopy assisted symbolic simulation (HASS) sheds light on the gradual evolution of higher order stationary formations in the system. The results thus obtained can potentially explain certain astrophysical phenomena as well as dense laboratory plasmas.
