The present paper comprises a review of kinetic instabilities that may be operative in the
solar wind, and how they influence the dynamics thereof. The review is limited to collective …

For Germany, it is predicted that the first wave of the corona pandemic disease reaches its
maximum of new infections on 11 April 2020− 3.4+ 5.4 days with 90% confidence. With a …

The electromagnetic proton firehose instability is driven by excessive parallel temperature
anisotropy, T∥> T⊥(or more precisely, parallel pressure anisotropy, P∥> P⊥) in high-beta …

The electron firehose instabilities are among the most studied kinetic instabilities, especially
in the context of space plasmas, whose dynamics is mainly controlled by collisionless wave …

Waves and instabilities have very often been an object of fascination since the introduction
of non-Maxwellian features in space plasmas. To date, the dispersion relation, including real …

In collisionless plasmas, only kinetic instabilities and fluctuations are effective in reducing
the free energy and scatter plasma particles, preventing an increase of their anisotropy …

The purely growing ordinary (O) mode instability driven by excessive parallel temperature
anisotropy for high-beta plasmas was first discovered in the 1970s. This instability receives …

The purely growing ordinary (O) mode instability has recently received renewed attention
owing to its potential applicability to the solar wind plasma. Here, an analytical marginal …

A generalized dispersion relation of obliquely propagating drift magnetosonic waves is
derived by using the gyrokinetic theory for anisotropic low beta plasmas. The stability …

This study aims to investigate the effect of ion-cyclotron drift wave turbulence on the
generation of ordinary mode (O-mode) in the presence of density and temperature …
