Instabilities Driven by the Drift and Temperature Anisotropy of Alpha Particles in the Solar Wind
Daniel Verscharen, Sofiane Bourouaine, Benjamin D. G. Chandran
We investigate the conditions under which parallel-propagating Alfvén/ion-cyclotron (A/IC) waves and fast-magnetosonic/whistler (FM/W) waves are driven unstable by the differential…
A Parallel-Propagating Alfvénic Ion-Beam Instability in the High-Beta Solar Wind
Daniel Verscharen, Sofiane Bourouaine, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +1
We investigate the conditions under which parallel-propagating Alfvén/ion-cyclotron waves are driven unstable by an isotropic () population of alpha p…
The Dispersion Relations and Instability Thresholds of Oblique Plasma Modes in the Presence of an Ion Beam
Daniel Verscharen, Benjamin D. G. Chandran
An ion beam can destabilize Alfvén/ion-cyclotron waves and magnetosonic/whistler waves if the beam speed is sufficiently large. Numerical solutions of the hot-plasma dispersion rel…
