Abstract

Several branches of strongly damped electromagnetic hot plasma modes have been found around the first two harmonics of the electron cyclotron frequency. They are right circularly polarized in parallel propagation, and their frequency mismatches and damping rates are linearly proportional to their parallel wavenumber, and almost independent of the plasma density when the density is sufficiently high. Details of the modes are presented.
