Propagation of magnetodynamic waves into a collisionless current layer
Abstract
In a layer of magnetic field aligned current, waves corresonding to the slow mode in the limit of no current are absorbed and/or reflected as soon as they enter the layer, while, under certain conditions, the waves corresponding to the fast mode do propagate through the layer.
