Polarization of whistler-mode waves in a hot anisotropic plasma is considered in the two limiting cases of quasi-longitudinal and quasi-electrostatic propagation. It is pointed out that electron thermal motion never influences the phase of the propagating waves; the polarization of whistler-mode waves propagating along the magnetic field is totally independent of electron thermal motion. The deformation of polarization (in both electric and magnetic fields), of obliquely propagating whistler-mode waves could be, in principle, observed in magnetospheric conditions and thus could be used to estimate electron temperature and anisotropy. This deformation seems to be especially pronounced for the electric field polarization of quasi-electrostatic waves.

The dispersion equation for parallel whistler-mode propagation in a hot anisotropic plasma is analysed numerically in both weakly relativistic and nonrelativistic approximations under the assumption that wave growth or damping does not influence the wave refractive index. The results of this analysis are compared with the results of an asymptotic analysis of the same equation, and the range of applicability of the latter results is specified. It is pointed out that relativistic effects lead to a decrease in the range of frequencies for which instability occurs. For a moderately anisotropic plasma (T⊥/T‖ = 2) relativistic effects lead to an increase in the maximum value of the increment of instability.
