Scientific paper

An approximate expression is derived for the maximum deviation of the direction of the quasi-electrostatic whistler-mode group velocity from the external magnetic field. This derivation takes into account finite electron density, temperature, and ion effects. It is pointed out that ions cannot be neglected at low frequencies. For frequencies close to half the electron gyrofrequency the contribution of these effects is about 10 percent for parameters typical for the inner magnetosphere and should be taken into account in an accurate analysis of whistler mode propagation.
