A cosmic ray current-driven instability in partially ionised media
Context. We investigate the growth of hydromagnetic waves driven by streaming cosmic rays in the precursor environment of a supernova remnant shock. Aims. It is known that transverse waves propagating parallel to the mean magnetic field are unstable to anisotropics in the cosmic ray distribution, an...
