Abstract

An analytical solution of the dispersion equation for electrostatic waves propagating in a plasma consisting of cold electrons and the electrons with the loss cone distribution function is obtained for wave frequencies close to the harmonics of electron gyrofrequency. Electrostatic emissions at these frequencies were observed in the magnetospheres of the Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.
