The plasmas in space, cosmic and astrophysical environments are long known to consist of numerous massive ionic components contributing to various wave instability fluctuation phenomena. Indeed, the ion-inertial effects need to be incorporated into realistic analyses, rather than treating the gravitating ionic species traditionally as a Boltzmann distributed fluid. Herein, we present an atypical theoretical model setup to study gravito-electrostatic mode -fluctuations in self-gravitating inhomogeneous interstellar dust molecular clouds (DMCs) on the astrophysical fluid scales of space and time. The main goal is focused on investigating the influence of self-consistent dynamic ion-inertial effects on the stability. Methodological application of standard multiple scaling techniques reduces the basic plasma structure equations into a unique pair of decoupled Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equations for the weak fluctuations. In contrast, the fully nonlinear counterparts are shown to evolve as a new gravito-electrostatically coupled pair of the Sagdeev energy -integral equations. In both the perturbation regimes, excitation of two distinct eigenmode classes electrostatic compressive solitons and self-gravitational rarefactive solitons with unusual and unique parametric features is demonstrated and portrayed. The graphical shape analysis reflects new plasma conditions for such eigenspectral patterns to coevolve in realistic interstellar parameter windows hitherto remaining unexplored. It is seen that the inertial ions play a destabilizing influential role leading to enhanced fluctuations toward establishing a reorganized gravito-electrostatic equilibrium structure. Finally, we discuss the consistency of our results in the framework of existing inertialess ion theories, experimental findings and multiple space satellite-based observations, together with new implications.

Relativistic ion-acoustic waves in electrospherically confined gyromagnetoactive quantum plasmas

Sayanti Dasgupta, Pralay Kumar Karmakar

Summary: A relativistic quantum plasma model is proposed to analyze the stability of ion-acoustic waves in a gyromagnetoactive spherical electron-ion plasma. The study shows that the Coriolis rotation and magnetic field act as growth boosters for the waves, leading to a unique pattern of zero growth-bouncing point in the wavenumber space. The magnetic field and plasma concentration can play both stabilizing and destabilizing roles depending on the wavenumber windows.

Athermal GES-based solar plasma stability with sphero-logabarotropic special effects

Pralay Kumar Karmakar, Utpal Deka

Summary: This study reports a model formalism for small-scale radial fluctuations in the athermal solar plasma system, based on the non-extensive gravito-electrostatic sheath (GES) model. The unique aspect is the intercoupling of solar interior plasma (SIP) and solar wind plasma (SWP) via the gravito-electrostatic interfacial diffused solar surface boundary (SSB), with electrons described by kappa distribution laws and ions treated as an inhomogeneous fluid.

Comparison study of the energy and instability of ion-acoustic solitary waves in magnetized electron-positron-ion quantum plasma

W. F. El-Taibany, P. K. Karmakar, A. A. Beshara, M. A. El-Borie, S. A. Gwaily, A. Atteya

Summary: This study focuses on the solitary waves that emerge from the nonlinear properties of plasmas. A nonlinear homogeneous quantum Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation is derived for a three-component collisionless quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, and ions in the presence of an external static magnetic field. The dependence of the solitary wave structures on various parameters, such as the Bohm potential, magnetic field, obliqueness, species Fermi temperatures, and densities, is investigated. The study also examines the soliton's electric field, energy, and instability growth rate. Comparison of system parameters to the behavior of energy and instability growth rate is performed. The findings contribute to the understanding of dynamics in magnetic white dwarfs, pulsar magnetospheres, semiconductor plasma, and high-intensity laser-solid matter interaction experiments involving e-p-i plasma.

Modal stability of low-frequency nucleus-acoustic waves in completely degenerate white dwarf cores and their nearly degenerate surroundings

Sayanti Dasgupta, Ahmed Atteya, Pralay Kumar Karmakar

Summary: We analyze the NAW modes in the CD core and ND ambience of ONe and CO white dwarfs using a quantum hydrodynamic plasma model. The model considers non-thermal quantum electrons, classical thermal light nuclear species, and classical thermal heavy nuclear species. The electronic energy distribution is controlled by the Fermi-Dirac temperature and chemical potential. The dispersion relation shows the multiparametric dependence of the NAW features, and a numerical platform demonstrates the NAW propagation and dispersion behaviors in a biscale form.

A theoretic analysis of magnetoactive GES-based turbulent solar plasma instability

Souvik Das, Ahmed Atteya, Pralay Kumar Karmakar

Summary: A recently developed gravito-electrostatic sheath model is used to study the helioseismic oscillation features in the bi-fluidic solar plasma system. The model reveals the evolution of both dispersive and non-dispersive features of the modified gravito-electrostatic sheath mode fluctuations. Different spectral profiles show important features of the perturbations. The stability of the system depends on various parameters and the dispersive features are more pronounced in the self-gravitational domains.

Acoustic stability of a self-gravitating cylinder leading to astrostructure formation

Sayanti Dasgupta, Ahmed Atteya, Pralay Kumar Karmakar

Summary: We used a quantum hydrodynamic model to study cylindrical acoustic waves in a gyromagnetoactive self-gravitating viscous cylinder made of electron-ion plasma. The electronic equation of state considered temperature degeneracy, which led to a generalized pressure expression including both quantum and classical pressure. Analyzing the waves using cylindrical wave analysis and the Hankel function, we obtained a sextic dispersion relation. By analyzing different parameter cases, we found that concentration is a major factor in destabilizing the system in the quantum regime, while plasma temperature plays an important role in both stabilization and destabilization in the classical regime.

Nonlinear pulsational mode dynamics in strongly correlated dust molecular clouds

Karabi Devi, Apratim Nag, Jaydeep Paul, Utpal Sarma, Pralay Kumar Karmakar

Summary: We theoretically study the nonlinear pulsational mode dynamics in strongly correlated (viscoelastic) self-gravitating complex charge-fluctuating dust molecular clouds (DMCs) on the astrophysical spatiotemporal scales. A nonlinear normal mode (local) analysis reveals a unique pair of extended Kortweg de-Vries-Burgers (KdV-B) equations on the conjugational gravito-electrostatic potential fluctuations in a mixed form. Numerical analysis of the KdV-B system within a wide-range parametric window relevant to realistic astronomical DMC circumstances demonstrates the evolution of solitary-chain patterns in fluctuation dynamics. Our results show that the amplitude of electrostatic fluctuations increases with the reference frame velocity, while gravitational fluctuations are unaffected by this velocity. Additionally, the fluctuation dynamics are found to be independent of various factors such as equilibrium dust density, equilibrium dust charge, and dust mass. The validation and reliability of our results are emphasized through comparison with existing literature. Our findings are crucial for understanding the mechanism behind bounded structure formation through non-local self-gravitational collapse dynamics.

A perceptive overview of nucleus-acoustic waves in degenerate quantum astroplasmas

Pralay Kumar Karmakar, Sayanti Dasgupta

Summary: In this study, a theoretical model is presented to explore the stability dynamics of nucleus-acoustic waves in gyrogravitating degenerate quantum astroplasmas. The analysis reveals that the enhancement of Coriolis rotation suppresses the growth features of the nucleus-acoustic waves, and the system is more sensitive to rotational forces than viscoelasticity.
