Scientific paper

Meyer-Vernet (1979) and Hoang et al. (1980) have shown that a large part of the L.F. continuum noise spectrum observed in the solar wind is due to thermal electrostatic noise which couples directly to the antenna. The current study provides the answers to a number of questions which have been left unresolved in the earlier investigations. A calculation is performed of the electrostatic noise which can be measured at the terminals of an electric dipole antenna immersed in a hot plasma. It is assumed that the plasma is at rest and stable. The considered plasma contains two electron populations at different temperatures. The results of the study show that, even in a stable plasma, large amounts of noise can be expected at the terminals of an antenna.
