Scientific paper

The kinetic instability of a gyrating ring distribution which can provide a source of free plasma energy for the excitation of plasma waves is investigated. The marginal stability frequency is calculated as a function of propagation angle for first-order cyclotron resonances with whistler-mode waves. The implications of the results for pickup ions and electrons released by satellites in the rapidly rotating magnetospheres of the giant planets are explored.
