On the Whistler Wave Solitons
Abstract
Whistler wave solitons generated by nonlinear self-modulations of high frequency whistler waves propagating along the static magnetic filed are investigated. Various descriptions for these whistler wave solitons are classified according to the relations among various smallness parameters and the existence conditions of different types of solitons are derived. The dynamic behavior of nonsteady whistler wave solitons is also discussed in terms of the trajectory in the parameter space.
