Proton Cyclotron Waves and Pickup Ion Ring Distribution Instabilities Upstream of Mars

Abstract Proton cyclotron waves (PCWs) upstream of Mars are thought to be associated with the instabilities of pickup ions. The instabilities of pickup ions of ring distributions have larger maximum growth rates compared with beam distributions. However, observations revealed a notably‐reduced occur...
