Abstract

A dispersion relation for electrostatic waves in a current-carrying, resistive, magnetized, two-ion plasma has been solved numerically for a range of parameter values. The behaviour of the resistive ion-ion hybrid instability is described and in addition a two-stream ion-ion hybrid instability is identified.
