Proton velocity ring-driven instabilities and their dependence on the ring speed: Linear theory

Min, Kyungguk; Liu, Kaijun; Gary, Peter; 0000-0002-4655-2316; 0000-0001-5882-1328 (2022-10-12)

Linear dispersion theory is used to study the Alfven-cyclotron, mirror and ion Bernstein instabilities driven by a tenuous (1%) warm proton ring velocity distribution with a ring speed, v(r), varying between 2v(A) and ...

Scalings of Alfven-cyclotron and ion Bernstein instabilities on temperature anisotropy of a ring-like velocity distribution in the inner magnetosphere

Gary, Peter; Min, Kyungguk; Liu, Kaijun; 0000-0001-5882-1328 (2022-09-29)

A ring-like proton velocity distribution with f(p)(v)/v>0 and which is sufficiently anisotropic can excite two distinct types of growing modes in the inner magnetosphere: ion Bernstein instabilities with multiple ion ...
