Description

The excitation of plasma waves in a magnetic trap (arch) with a constantly acting source of energetic electrons is analyzed in a quasi-linear approximation with allowance for the simultaneous excitation of electromagnetic waves: whistlers. The energy density of plasma waves and the density of charged particles in the trap are estimated. The blending of plasma waves yields the flux of radio emission at the second harmonic of the plasma frequency observed in a type IV burst
