Zusammenfassung |
We investigate trapping of mirror modes in a magnetic
slab. This model is a simplification of a real situation in front of the
magnetopause where mirror waves may become trapped in a region close to the
magnetopause for tangential discontinuity conditions and an unidentified
(hypothetical) boundary deeper in the sheath which we, for simplicity, assume to
be another tangential discontinuity. Such magnetic slabs may trap mirror modes
selecting a particular perpendicular wave lengths which follows from a
quantization condition on the perpendicular wavenumber. |
