Pandey Amity Institute of Applied Sciences, Amity University, Sector-125, Noida, U.P, India Abstract Type : Oral Abstract Category : Sun and the Solar System Abstract : In present work, obliquely aligned whistler mode waves are analyzed, in the presence of DC parallel electric field in background plasma having relativistic Maxwellian distribution function in the magnetosphere of Uranus. The effect of various plasma parameters are investigated by deriving the dispersion relation for whistler waves propagating oblique to magnetic field direction. Following the kinetic approach, it is found that temperature anisotropy, magnitude of electric field, energy density and number density of particles supports the growth rate and relativistic factor does not. The present work is basically based upon the theoretical investigation and mathematical analysis of the magnetosphere of Uranus, supported by satellite data. Results are also discussed in context to magnetosphere of Earth and also gives theoretical explanation to existence of whistler mode waves in presence of DC parallel field observed by Voyager 2 in the magnetosphere of Uranus. |
