Scientific paper

Current knowledge of kinetic electromagnetic cyclotron instabilities occurring in multicomponent space plasmas is reviewed with particular emphasis on nonlinear behavior as described by computer simulation experiments. Attention is given to the dielectric tensor and dispersion relation for EM and/or ES plasma waves in collisionless magnetized uniform plasmas, the electromagnetic electron cyclotron (whistler) instability, including the feedback effect of the waves on the particles and the effect of the interaction among various wave modes, and the electromagnetic ion cyclotron instability. Implications of the results for the feasibility of active space plasma experiments based on the seeding of cold plasma components are also discussed.
