Abstract
We present a study of wave particle interaction in the vicinity of int erplanetary shocks in the ecliptic plane, as observed by the Ulysses s pacecraft. We focus here on some events, for which electromagnetic wav es are observed, mainly down-stream of the shock. The whistler mode wa ves are studied by means of the Unified RAdio and Plasma wave experime nt (URAP) and the electron distribution functions are obtained from th e Ulysses' plasma experiment (SWOOPS). The results are discussed in th e light of electron-cyclotron instabilities.
