Current‐driven Langmuir oscillations and formation of wave packets via modulational instability: Relevance to STEREO observations

Abstract Recently, it has been shown that Langmuir oscillations (LOs) at the plasma frequency can be driven by an electron current without any electrostatic instability. This current may appear due to a (small) drift of the whole electron population against the ions or by beam electrons after their...
