Dispersion equation is analyzed for field aligned ion-cyclotron waves in a two-dimensional (2D) magnetospheric plasma with circular magnetic field lines. The steady-state bi-Maxwellian distribution function is used to model the energetic protons in a hydrogen plasma at the geostationary orbit. As in...
