Oblique propagating whistler mode wave with parallel AC electric field at magnetosphere of Uranus

Oblique propagating electromagnetic whistler mode instability has been studied having a k vector at angle to ambient magnetic field for bi-Maxwellian distribution function with parallel AC electric field in the magnetosphere of Uranus. The dispersion relation and growth rate have been calculated for plasma parameters suited to the magnetosphere of Uranus by using the method of characteristic solutions and kinetic approach. The effect of AC electric field and temperature anisotropy for oblique propagating electromagnetic whistler mode instability has been reported and discussed in the 'results and discussion section. The comparisons have been made with observations made by Voyager 2. It is found that whistler mode emissions observed at lower radial distances cannot reproduce in our calculations. The present studies should be helpful in making estimates on the scattering properties of whistler mode waves and, thus, contribute to a better understanding of auroral activity in the planetary atmosphere.
