Popis: In this paper, propagation characteristics of obliquely propagating nonlinear magnetosonic waves in hot nonthermal plasmas have been studied. The expressions of modified temperatures have been derived for non-Maxwellian Q-nonextensive and (r, q) distributions and then incorporated into the one-fluid magnetohydrodynamic model. By employing the reductive perturbation technique, we derived the linear dispersion relation (LDR) and nonlinear Kadomstev–Petvashvilli (KP) equation for slow and fast magnetosonic wave modes in two dimensions. We then investigated the LDR and nonlinear propagation of KP solitons for both the slow and fast mode magnetosonic waves and found that propagation characteristics are significantly altered by considering the effect of modified temperature. The results presented here would depict a realistic picture of the propagation of nonlinear magnetosonic waves in non-Maxwellian plasmas.
