Abstract
Using a wave telescope method based on a spherical waves representation we are able to determine the location of plasma wave sources from Cluster mag-netic field data. In virtue of Huygens principle, our method also allows to determine the shape of the source region. We apply the method to a typical Cluster crossing of the bowshock and we are able to locate wave sources both in the foreshock and in the magnetosheath. The foreshock wave source is close to the Cluster tetrahedron indicating that waves are locally generated in the foreshock. The magnetosheath wave originates from an elongated source region aligned with the background magnetic field.
