On the linear mirror mode threshold in high- space plasma
R. A. Treumann, O. D. Constantinescu
The linear threshold condition of the mirror mode including weak drift and finite Larmor radius effects is analysed and shown that it can be given to arbitrary precision in closed…

On the competition between the mirror and electromagnetic ion cyclotron modes
R. A. Treumann, O. D. Constantinescu
We give a simple argument for the exclusive existence of mirror and electromaghetic ion cyclotron modes in anisotropic high- plasmas. It is shown that, in addition to a large do…
