Abstract: The work is devoted to study behaviour of dispersive Alfven waves (DAW) in a finite and high pressure astrophysical plasma. It is obtain all main waves characteristics — dispersion, damping, polarization, density perturbation, charge density perturbation. It is analyzed the influence of astrophysical environment parameeer on a DAW behaveor and propereies. It is shown, that waves behaviour in a finite and high pressure plasma are essentially different from very low, intermediate and low pressure plasma. |
