| Abstract: | In this paper an analysis of the excitation conditions of mirror waves is done, which propagate parallel to an external magnetic field. There are found analytical expressions for the dispersion relations of the waves in case of different plasma conditions. These relations may be used in future to develop the nonlinear theory of mirror waves. In comparison with former analytical works, in the study the influence of the magnetic field and finite temperatures of the ions parallel to the magnetic field are taken into account. Application is done for the earth's magnetosheath. |
