(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2003)In a recent study of ion cyclotron waves generated by the thermal anisotropy of oxygen ions, it was shown that the heavy ion drift velocity and a large thermal anisotropy of the heavy ions can destabilize proton-cyclotron ...

(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2002)We study ion cyclotron instabilities due to the thermal anisotropy of minor heavy ions. Very large thermal anisotropics have been observed in O +5 ions in coronal holes [Cranmer, 2001], and as is well known, the thermal ...
