Abstract
An expression for the potential of a pulsating point charge in a warm isotropic plasma known from previous work is derived in an independent way. This approach offers a possibility to calculate the plasma response as a Laplace instead of Fourier integral and may give some insight even into problems without spherical symmetry.
