The following chapter provides an overview of the techniques used to understand Self-
Organised Criticality (SOC) by performing computer simulations. Those are of particular …

Context. Lightning can have a profound impact on the chemistry of planetary atmospheres.
In a similar manner, as protoplanetary disks are the foundation of planet formation, the …

The propagation of dust ion acoustic solitary waves and double layers is studied in a dusty
plasma with heavy adiabatic positively charged dust grains and lighter adiabatic positive …

Abstract Space weather is a relatively new and important field of research. It is relevant to
diverse topics such as radio communication, space travel, diagnostics of ionospheric and …

Observations have shown that continuous radio emission and also sporadic Hα and X-ray
emission are prominent in singular, low-mass objects later than spectral class M. These …

Formation of dusty plasmas in the Earth's ionosphere at 80–120 km altitudes during high-
speed meteor showers and its detectable manifestations are discussed. Emphasis is given …

The propagation of nonlinear dust-ion-acoustic waves in an inhomogeneous dusty plasma
is studied. At small but finite amplitudes, the wave evolution is governed by a modified …

A model for a weakly ionized dusty plasma is proposed in which UV or x-ray radiation
continuously creates free electrons at high energy, which then cool through collisions with a …

We demonstrate the possibility of the existence and propagation of dust acoustic solitons in
the dusty plasma of the lunar exosphere, which contains, in addition to electrons and ions of …

A chemical model of electron-dust plasmas consisting of electrons and dust particles is
systematically developed. An insight is exploited that a single dust particle forms a potential …
