    "abstract": "We perform direct analysis of mirror mode instabilities from the general\ndielectric tensor for several model distributions, in the longwavelength limit.\nThe growth rate at the instability threshold depends on the derivative of the\ndistribution for zero parallel energy. The maximum growth rate is always $\\sim\nk_\\parallel v_{T\\parallel}$ and the instability is of nonresonant kind. The\ninstability growth rate and its dependence on the propagation angle depend on\nthe shape of the ion and electron distribution functions.",
