Extract

We derive the dispersion formulae for electromagnetic waves including relativistic kinematics and a corresponding Maxwellian equilibrium distribution function without any approximations and having anisotropy in the streaming velocity. For non-relativistic temperatures, waves propagate when the streaming velocity is much smaller than the thermal velocity of the species, with varying thermal modes.
