Obliquely propagating dust-acoustic solitary waves in cosmic dust-laden plasmas

Obliquely dust-acoustic solitary waves in a collisional, magnetized dusty plasmas having cold dust grains, isothermal electrons, two temperature isothermal ions and stationary neutrals are studied via a reductive perturbation method. It is found that the effects of two temperature ions, collisions, magnetic field and directional cosine of the waves vector k along the x-axis have vital roles in the behavior of the dust acoustic solitary waves. The present investigation can be relevance to the electrostatic solitary structures observed in various cosmic dust-laden plasmas, such as Saturn's E-ring, noctilucent clouds, Halley's comet and interstellar molecular clouds.
