Scientific paper

The neutral Ba atoms released in the solar wind by the AMPTE mission satellite underwent rapid photoionization, forming a dense, expanding plasma cloud which interrupted the solar wind flow, giving rise to diamagnetic cavities; on their upstream side, a region of compressed plasma and enhanced magnetic field was created due to the deceleration and deflection of the solar wind and magnetic field-line draping. Attention is presently given to the ways in which the newly created expanding plasma couples to the solar wind, by means of plasma-beam and current-driven instabilities. It is shown how lower-hybrid and lower-hybrid drift waves are generated by cross-field proton-barium streaming instabilities and cross-field electron currents.
