Abstract

We discuss critical curves that allow us to predict, qualitatively, the topological behaviour of higher-order modes in a two-electron-temperature plasma as wavenumber and hot electron fraction are varied. The relationship of these higher-order modes to the electron-acoustic wave is elucidated.
