Abstract

This paper is concerned with the derivation of linear wave equations for nonuniform magnetized Vlasov plasmas. By the operator method it is shown that a close connection exists between the case of perpendicular propagation and the general one. Combining this with previous results, expressions for the perturbed density and velocity are derived for the case of propagation at any angle to the uniform static magnetic field in a two-temperature Maxwellian plasma. These results apply for arbitrary inhomogeneities of equilibrium density and temperatures in directions perpendicular to the static magnetic field.
