Abstract

Recently [Yoon, Phys. Plasmas 14, 064504 (2007)], the spontaneous emission of magnetic field fluctuations in isotropic particle distribution functions was investigated. Here, the question is addressed as to how these fluctuations develop for an anisotropic distribution function that supports the Weibel instability. It is shown that, depending on the parameters, either electromagnetic or aperiodic magnetic fluctuations are dominant.
