Abstract

Small-amplitude electrostatic solitary waves are investigated in an unmagnetized dusty plasma with hot variable charge non-thermal dust grains. These nonlinear localized structures are small-amplitude self-consistent solutions of the Vlasov equation in which the dust response is non-Maxwellian. Localized solitary structures that may possibly occur are discussed and the dependence of their characteristics on physical parameters is traced. Our investigation may be taken as a prerequisite for the understanding of the electrostatic solitary waves that may occur in space dusty plasmas.
