Dispersion relations at sub-ion scales during the interval t = 1.51τA − 1.60τA. (a)–(c) PSD traces of the magnetic-field, electric-field, and electron-velocity fluctuation for perpendicular propagating fluctuations (k∥ ≈ 0). The black dashed line shows the theoretical dispersion relation of the IBWs, the red line corresponds to the lower-hybrid wave (LHW), and the green line denotes the fast wave (FW) dispersion ω = kvf. (d)–(f) PSD traces of the magnetic-field, electric-field, and electron-velocity fluctuation for parallel propagating fluctuations (k⊥ ≈ 0). In panels (d)–(f), the black dashed line represents the theoretical dispersion relation of whistler waves (WW).
