Research into electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) is relatively young, and so while the mathematical framework for them (see: solitons) is robust, there is actually very little published research surrounding their interaction with solar wind plasma (which is often the source of the turbulence they are associated with).

The conflict of interest is thus: the two largest contributions to observing solar wind plasma conditions in the presence of ESWs are my thesis and the paper published by my then graduate advisor which motivated the thesis. I believe, specifically, that the connection between ESWs and temperature anisotropy is information worth including, but I am (as of writing this) the only source of this information.

As selfishly as I would like to include this information (and the other relevant information surrounding it), I believe it best that the added context remains unincluded unless and until a substantially less biased contributor determines it worth including.

Secondarily, though substantially less severely: A number of the cited papers for information surrounding ESWs comes either from my previous graduate advisor or colleagues he has previously co-authored with. I have done my best to include this information as impartially as possible (and using alternative references when possible), but this CoI is practically unavoidable given the interconnectedness of this field of research. Second-hand verification of these references and/or contribution of non-CoI sources would greatly increase the validity of information. TWorkmanRES (talk) 14:08, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
