Abstract

This paper discusses the excitation of Bernstein waves by pickup ions, which occur in the low corona, particularly the active regions. The present research is motivated by the study of solar plasma and radio-emission processes. However, emphasis is placed in this paper on the stability analysis rather than applications of the result. The analysis encompasses two limiting cases: one is when the pickup ions have small velocity dispersion; the other is when the ion velocity dispersion is significant.
