Abstract

First public release of BO-KM. BO-KM is a comprehensive code that has the capability to simultaneously solve for all significant roots of the dispersion relation for obliquely propagating waves in magnetized multi-species plasma. This code provides extensive support for a wide range of distribution functions, including anisotropic drift kappa-Maxwellian distributions, anisotropic drift bi-Maxwellian distributions, and their combinations. Additionally, it can also handle bi-kappa distributions for perpendicular propagation. See README.md for detailed installation, usage, and examples. License: BSD 3-Clause
