AbstractUsing the Parker Solar Probe measurements, this Letter reports two new types of multiband electrostatic waves in and near the heliospheric current sheet. They are classified into the f < f $_ce$ and f > f $_ce$ multiband electrostatic waves, in which most (or all) of the bands in the former type are lower than f $_ce$, and all of the bands in the latter type are higher than f $_ce$, where f and f $_ce$ denotes the wave frequency and the electron cyclotron frequency, respectively. This Letter also exhibits observational evidence of the existence of nonlinear wave-wave interactions of both types of electrostatic waves. In particular, the f > f $_ce$ multiband electrostatic waves are found to be modulated in the presence of low-frequency oblique ion-scale waves. According to the observed frequency distribution, this Letter proposes that the mode nature of the f < f $_ce$ multiband electrostatic waves could be the oblique ion acoustic wave or the lower-hybrid wave, and the f > f $_ce$ multiband electrostatic waves are the electron Bernstein mode wave. These findings provide a challenge to understand the complex electron and ion dynamical processes in and near the heliospheric current sheet.
