Abstract
The article studies waves in a collisionless magnetoactive plasma with frequencies much lower than the electron cyclotron frequency at an arbitrary ratio between the electron plasma and cyclotron frequencies. A general dispersion relation is obtained for the wave frequency as a function of the wave vector and the ratio of the plasma frequency to the cyclotron frequency. This relation is a bicubic equation with respect to frequency. Based on this equation, the existence domains of various wave modes depending on the specified parameter, their group velocity, polarization, and energy density are studied. Special attention is paid to low-frequency whistler waves in a low-density plasma, since, among the propagating wave modes existing in the specified range of parameters, whistler waves have the highest refractive index and play an important role in theresonant interaction of waves and particles.
期刊介绍：
Plasma Physics Reports is a peer reviewed journal devoted to plasma physics. The journal covers the following topics: high-temperature plasma physics related to the problem of controlled nuclear fusion based on magnetic and inertial confinement; physics of cosmic plasma, including magnetosphere plasma, sun and stellar plasma, etc.; gas discharge plasma and plasma generated by laser and particle beams. The journal also publishes papers on such related topics as plasma electronics, generation of radiation in plasma, and plasma diagnostics. As well as other original communications, the journal publishes topical reviews and conference proceedings.
