Secondary Whistler and Ion-Cyclotron Instabilities Driven by Mirror Modes in Galaxy Clusters

Francisco Ley et al 2024 ApJ 965 155 Using detailed kinetic simulations, researchers explored the development of nonlinear mirror modes in intracluster medium plasma; nonlinear mirror modes can trigger bursts of whistler waves called lion roars.
