The Alfv6n surface waves can arise due to the discontinuity in the Alfv6n speed across the interface along which these waves propagate. This note studies the relationship between VA~ and VA2 which is required for the existence of Alfv6n surface waves in low-fl plasma.

The dispersion and damping of a dust-modified kinetic AlfvCn wave, and a lower frequency dust kinetic Alfven wave, is investigated in a dusty plasma comprising electrons, ions, and negative dust. It is found that, when dust dynamics is neglected, the presence of cold dust modifies the usual kinetic
The Rankine-Hugoniot equations for hydromagnetic shocks are extended to include the energy and momentum flux due to Alfvtn waves incident on the shock. The shock relations are solved numerically for a wide variety of parameters typical of interplanetary conditions. The presence of the waves can caus
