Electromagnetic instabilities in a gyrotropic and nongyrotropic hybrid solar-wind-like plasma

We study the stability of electromagnetic waves for nongyrotropic velocity distribution functions in a solar‐wind‐like plasma. The dispersion relation is solved numerically in closed form. On the basis of recently reported observations of such plasma distribution functions in the solar wind at 1.3 A...
