Scientific paper

This paper reviews recent research on the theory and computer simulations of electromagnetic ion/ion instabilities and their consequences in space plasmas. Ion/ion instabilities are growing modes in a collisionless plasma driven unstable by the relative streaming velocity v(0) of two distinct ion components such that v(0) is parallel or antiparallel to the uniform background magnetic field. The space physics regimes which display enhanced fluctuations due to these instabilities include the solar wind, the terrestrial foreshock, the plasma sheet boundary layer, and distant cometary environments.
