Proton firehose instability: An interplay of thermal core and non-thermal halo protons

Higher levels of solar wind temperatures are reported to be constrained. Microinstabilities play a key role under dilute space plasma conditions. The present study highlights the role of proton firehose instability in defining parallel temperatures of protons. Considering reality, we chose a bi-Maxw...
