A dispersion relation is obtained, on the basis of which simplified cases of propagation of low-amplitude disturbance waves and the derivation of modified criteria for hydrodynamic instability are discussed. Using the obtained dispersion relation, three simple cases are treated when the disturbance wave propagates across, along, and obliquely to the magnetic field vector. It is shown that the anisotropy of pressure and heat flow not only changes the classical criterion of the Jeans instability, but also leads to the appearance of new wave modes and causes the appearance of new unstable domains. It has been found that the presence of uniform rotation of the plasma reduces the critical wave number and has a stabilizing effect on the criterion of gravitational instability when the disturbance wave propagates transversely, without having an effect in the case of longitudinal propagation. These results are important for developing evolutionary magnetohydrodynamic models of astrophysical collisionless plasma.</p>","PeriodicalId":778,"journal":{"name":"Solar System Research","volume":"58 5","pages":"549 - 560"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its essence is that an observer, usually located at a distance of 50–100 km from a flying meteor body, sometimes hears sound simultaneously with its radiation. It seems that sound travels at the speed of light. Historically, the situation was such that it was only no more than sixty years ago that attempts to instrumentally study this unusual phenomenon began. The difficulty of these searches is also due to the fact that only a few percent of the total number of observed meteoroids have this property. About forty years ago it was discovered that meteoroids can emit electromagnetic pulses of varying duration and frequency composition. However, it turned out that this fact does not always have an unambiguous relationship to electrophonic phenomena. This paper provides a brief overview of the most meaningful hypotheses and experiments of past years.

It has been established that using this instrument it is possible to detect water in regolith, including determining its state (chemically bound and unbound water). Moreover, the conditions for sampling the regolith and delivering it to the soil receiving device of the instrument are critically important for the analysis, since under the conditions of the lunar surface, sublimation of ice is possible before the samples are analyzed.
