Abstract

One of the best known coherent radio emission mechanisms is the electron cyclotron maser instability. In this article we will demonstrate that electron cyclotron maser emission is directly associated with particular types of charged particle acceleration and propagation in space and laboratory plasmas. These include electron ring distributions, horseshoe or crescent shaped electron distribution functions. Planetary and stellarmagnetospheres are examples of where horseshoe or crescent shaped electron distributions can be found and astrophysical shocks produce ring shaped electron distribution functions. In the laboratory horseshoe or crescent shaped distributions are produced whenever an electron beam propagates into a stronger magnetic field region. (Β© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Very bright and highly circularly polarized radio bursts from the Sun, the planets, flare stars, and close binary stars are attributed to the electron-cyclotron maser instability. The mode and frequency of the dominant radiation from the maser instability is shown to be dependent on the plasma tempe
