Modified ion-Weibel instability as a possible source of wave activity at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
We analytically discuss wave excitation in a homogeneous three component plasma consisting of solar wind protons, electrons and a beam of cometary water ions applied to the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The resulting dispersion relations are studied in a solar wind rest...
