Filamentation instability of MHD waves in solar wind plasma
Description
The ISEE 1 and 2 spacecrafts have detected both magnetosonic waves and Alfven waves propagating upstream in the high-speed solar wind. The stability of such waves has drawn a considerable attention in recent years. Various processes of parametric and modulation instabilities excited by the Alfven pumps have been investigated. Moreover, the filamentation instability which can break up the large-amplitude Alfven waves and induce not only plasma density fluctuations but also magnetostatic fluctuations has also been investigated
