PROBLEMS OF THE PC1 MAGNETOSPHERIC WAVE THEORY. A REVIEW
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The Pc1 ultralow-frequency electromagnetic waves (frequency range 0.2–5 Hz), also known as pearl necklace, are a unique phenomenon in near-Earth space physics. Many properties of pearls remain a mystery, despite the research of prominent cosmophysicists for more than half a century. In the proposed review, we briefly outline the main points of the so-called standard model, which is widely used to interpret Pc1. Next, we focus on the criticism of the standard model and on the identification of open problems in the Pc1 theory. The general conclusion is that it is necessary to develop new ideas outside the framework of the standard model in order to understand the processes of excitation and propagation of Pc1 waves in Earth’s magnetosphere.

The solar minimum is a period with a relatively smaller number of sunspots and solar eruptions, and has been less studied before. Since the radio signal rapidly responds to the change of solar plasma and magnetic field,...
PARTIAL PONDEROMOTIVE FORCES OF ALFVÉN WAVES IN NEAR-EARTH PLASMA
In the study of the ponderomotive action of Alfvén waves on near-Earth plasma, the general formula for ponderomotive forces, known in classical electrodynamics of continuous media, was previously used. The formula does n...
