| Abstract: | Our purpose is to examine the formation of different sheaths in rotating astroplasmas embedded in an ambient magnetic field.
Sequel to our recent work (Das and Chakraborty in Astrophys. Space Sci., 2011) we remodeled our present study with the view to finding of robust sheath over the Earth’s Moon along with the formation
of dust clouds therein. Based on using the pseudopotential analysis, a modified Sagdeev potential equation has been derived,
which, in turns, quantifies the interaction of Coriolis force and magnetic field and to derive the different natures of sheath
and dust atmosphere. The application of this result to the input numeric data of the lunar environment and dynamical behaviors
of dust levitation has been studied. Our study finds that the dust particles having a spatial segregation within the sheath
region form dust clouds in spaces. |
