Self-gravitational instability of rotating viscous Hall plasma with arbitrary radiative heat-loss functions and electron inertia

The effects of arbitrary radiative heat-loss functions and Hall current on the self-gravitational instability of a homogeneous, viscous, rotating plasma has been investigated incorporating the effects of finite electrical resistivity, finite electron inertia and thermal conductivity. A general dispersion relation is obtained using the normal mode analysis with the help of relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem, and a modified Jeans criterion of instability is obtained. The conditions of modified Jeans instabilities and stabilities are discussed in the different cases of our interest. We find that the presence of arbitrary radiative heat-loss functions and thermal conductivity modifies the fundamental Jeans criterion of gravitational instability into a radiative instability criterion. The Hall parameter affects only the longitudinal mode of propagation and it has no effect on the transverse mode of propagation. For longitudinal propagation, it is found that the condition of radiative instability is independent of the magnetic field, Hall parameter, finite electron inertia, finite electrical resistivity, viscosity and rotation; but for the transverse mode of propagation it depends on the finite electrical resistivity, the strength of the magnetic field, and it is independent of rotation, electron inertia and viscosity. From the curves we find that the presence of thermal conductivity, finite electrical resistivity and density-dependent heat-loss function has a destabilizing influence, while viscosity and magnetic field have a stabilizing effect on the growth rate of an instability. The effect of arbitrary heat-loss functions is also studied on the growth rate of a radiative instability.     

Effect of Hall Current and Finite Larmor Radius Corrections on Thermal Instability of Radiative Plasma for Star Formation in Interstellar Medium (ISM)

The effects of finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) corrections, Hall current and radiative heat-loss function on the thermal instability of an infinite homogeneous, viscous plasma incorporating the effects of finite electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and permeability for star formation in interstellar medium have been investigated. A general dispersion relation is derived using the normal mode analysis method with the help of relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem. The wave propagation is discussed for longitudinal and transverse directions to the external magnetic field and the conditions of modified thermal instabilities and stabilities are discussed in different cases. We find that the thermal instability criterion gets modified into radiative instability criterion. The finite electrical resistivity removes the effect of magnetic field and the viscosity of the medium removes the effect of FLR from the condition of radiative instability. The Hall parameter affects only the longitudinal mode of propagation and it has no effect on the transverse mode of propagation. Numerical calculation shows stabilizing effect of viscosity, heat-loss function and FLR corrections, and destabilizing effect of finite resistivity and permeability on the thermal instability. The outcome of the problem discussed the formation of star in the interstellar medium.     

Gravitational Instability of Cylindrical Viscoelastic Medium Permeated with Non Uniform Magnetic Field and Rotation

The self-gravitating instability of an infinitely extending axisymmetric cylinder of viscoelastic medium permeated with non uniform magnetic field and rotation is studied for both the strongly coupled plasma (SCP) and weakly coupled plasma (WCP). The non uniform magnetic field and rotation are considered to act along the axial direction of the cylinder. The normal mode method of perturbations is applied to obtain the dispersion relation. The condition for the onset of gravitational instability has been derived from the dispersion relation under both strongly and weakly coupling limits. It is found that the Jeans criterion for gravitational collapse gets modified due to the presence of shear and bulk viscosities for the SCP, however, the magnetic field and rotation whether uniform or non uniform has no effect on the Jeans criterion of an infinitely extending axisymmetric cylinder of a self-gravitating viscoelastic medium.     

Effect of thermal conductivity on the gravitational instability of a magnetized rotating plasma through a porous medium in the presence of suspended particles

The self-gravitational instability of an ionized, thermally-conducting, magnetized, rotating plasma flow through a porous medium has been studied in the presence of suspended particles. The ionized gas-particle medium has been considered rotating along and perpendicular to the vertical magnetic field. Propagation of the plasma waves has been studied for the longitudinal and the transverse modes for both the cases of rotation. A general dispersion relation has been derived with the help of relevant perturbation equations, using the method of normal mode analysis. The Jeans criterion determines the condition of gravitational instability in all the cases with some modifications introduced by the various parameters considered. Thermal conductivity replaces the adiabatic sonic speed by the isothermal one. Considering the longitudinal mode of propagation with perpendicular rotational axis, for an inviscid plasma with adiabatic behaviour the effect of both, the rotation and the suspended particles has been removed by the magnetic field. For the transverse mode of propagation with the axis of rotation parallel to the magnetic field, the viscosity removes the effect of both, the rotation and the suspended particles. Porosity reduces the effect of both, the rotation and the magnetic field, whereas the concentration of the suspended particles reduces the rotational effect.     

Magnetogravitational instability of an infinite homogeneous rotating plasma through a porous medium with finite electrical and thermal conductivities

The gravitational instability of an infinite homogenous rotating plasma through a porous medium in the presence of a uniform magnetic field with finite electrical and thermal conductivities has been studied. With the help of relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem, a general dispersion relation is obtained, which is further reduced for the special cases of rotation, parallel and perpendicular to the megnetic field acting in the vertical direction. Longitudinal and transverse modes of propagation are discussed separately. It is found that the joint effect of various parameters is simply to modify the Jeans's condition of instability. The effect of finite electrical conductivity is to remove the effect of magnetic field where as the effect of thermal conductivity is to replace the adiabatic velocity of sound by the isothermal one. Rotation has its effect only along the magnetic field in the transverse mode of propagation for an inviscid plasma, thereby stabilizing the system. Porosity reduces the effect of both, the magnetic field and the rotation, in the transverse mode of propagation in both the cases of rotation. The effect of viscosity is to remove the rotational effects parallel to the magnetic field in the transverse mode of propagation.     

Magneto-gravitational instability of a fluid through porous medium including finite ion Larmor radius

The magneto-gravitational instability of an infinite, homogenous, and infinitely conducting plasma flowing through a porous medium is studied. The finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) effects and viscosity are also incorporated in the analysis. The prevalent magnetic field is assumed to be uniform and acting in the vertical direction. A general dispersion relation has been obtained from the relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem. The wave propagation parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field have been discussed. It is found that the condition of the instability is determined by the Jeans criterion for a self-gravitating, infinitely conducting, magnetized fluid through a porous medium. Furthermore, for transverse perturbation FLR is found to have stabilizing influence when the medium is considered inviscid.     

Magneto-gravitational instability of a rotating and finitely-conducting fluid

The gravitational instability of an infinite homogeneous finitely conducting viscid fluid through porous medium is studied in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field and finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) effects. The medium is considered uniformly rotating along and perpendicular to the direction of the prevalent magnetic field. A general dispersion relation is obtained from the relevant linearized perturbation equations of the problem. Furthermore, the wave propagation along and perpendicular to the direction of existing magnetic field has been discussed for each direction of the rotation. It is found that the simultaneous presence of viscosity finite conductivity, rotation, medium porosity, and FLR corrections does not essentially change the Jeans's instability condition. The stabilizing influence of FLR in the case of transverse propagation is reasserted for a non-rotating and inviscid porous medium. It is shown that the finite conductivity has destabilizing influence on the transverse wave propagation whereas for longitudinal propagation finite conductivity does not affect the Jean's criterion.     

Magnetogravitational stability of self-gravitating plasma with thermal conduction and finite Larmor radius through porous medium

The problem of incipient fragmentation of interstellar matter to form condensation is investigated taking into account the porosity, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and effect of finite ion-Larmor radius (FLR) on the self-gravitating plasma having a uniform magnetic field acting in vertical direction. Relevant linearized equations are stated and dispersion relation is obtained. Wave propagation in longitudinal and transverse direction to the magnetic field is considered. Stability and instability of the medium is discussed. It is found that if the Jeans's instability condition is not fulfilled the medium must remain stable. Magnetic field, FLR and porosity do not affect the Jeans's criterion of instability in longitudinal direction but in transverse direction, the magnetic field and FLR have stabilizing effect which is reduced due to porosity of the medium. Thermal conductivity destabilizes the medium in both the directions. In transverse direction contribution of FLR on the Jeans's expression for instability is not observed in thermally conducting medium.     

Effect of rotation and self-gravity on the propagation of MHD waves

Magnetohydrodynamics waves and instabilities in rotating, self-gravitating, anisotropic and collision-less plasma were investigated. The general dispersion relation was obtained using standard mode analysis by constructing the linearized set of equations. The wave mode solutions and stability properties of the dispersion relations are discussed in the propagations transverse and parallel to the magnetic field. These special cases are discussed considering the axis of rotation to be in transverse and along the magnetic field. In the case of propagation transverse to the magnetic field with axis of rotation parallel to the magnetic field, we derived the dispersion relation modified by rotation and self-gravitation. In the case of propagation parallel to the magnetic field with axis of rotation perpendicular to the magnetic field, we obtained two separate modes affected by rotation and self-gravitation. This indicates that the Slow mode and fire hose instability are not affected by rotation. Numerical analysis was performed for oblique propagation to show the effect of rotation and self-gravitation. It is found that rotation has an effect of reducing the value of the phase speeds on the fast and Alfven wave modes, but self-gravitation affect only on the Slow modes, thereby reducing the phase speed compare to the ideal magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) case.     

Effect of quantum corrections on the Jeans instability of self-gravitating viscoelastic dusty fluid

In this paper we investigate the effects of quantum correction on the Jeans instability of self-gravitating viscoelastic dusty electron-ion quantum fluids. The massive self-gravitating dust grains are assumed to be strongly coupled and non-degenerate having both viscous and elastic behavior while the inertialess electrons and ions are considered as weakly coupled and Fermi degenerate. The hydrodynamic model is modified and a linear dispersion relation is derived employing the plane wave solutions on the linearized perturbation equations for the considered system. It is observed that the dispersion properties are affected due to the presence of viscoelastic effects and quantum statistical corrections. The modified condition of Jeans instability and expression of critical Jeans wavenumber are obtained. Numerically it is shown that viscoelastic effects, dust plasma frequency and quantum statistical effects all have stabilizing influence on the growth rate of gravitationally Jeans mode. The growth rates are also compared in kinetic and hydrodynamic limits and it is found that decay in the growth of unstable Jeans mode is larger under the kinetic limits than the hydrodynamic limits. The results are discussed for the understanding of formation of dense degenerate dwarf star through gravitational collapsing which is assumed to be strongly coupled dusty quantum fluid where the strongly coupled dust provides inertia and Fermi degenerate electron and ions provide quantum statistical effects.

On the Jeans Criterion of a Stratified Heat Conducting Gaseous Medium in the Presence of Non-uniform Rotation and Magnetic Field

The problem of self-gravitational instability of an infinite, homogeneous stratified gaseous medium with finite thermal conductivity and infinite electrical conductivity, in the presence of non-uniform rotation and magnetic field in the Chandrasekhar’s frame of reference, is studied. It is found that the magnetic field, whether uniform or non-uniform, has no effect on the Jeans’ criterion for gravitational instability and remains essentially unaffected. However, the thermal conductivity has the usual stabilizing effect on the criterion that the adiabatic sound velocity occurring in the Jeans criterion is replaced by the isothermal sound velocity. Thus, the present analysis extends the results of Chandrasekhar for the case of heat conducting medium and for non-uniform rotation and magnetic field.     

Magnetogravitational instability of a finitely-conducting medium with variable streaming motion

A discussion of gravitational instability of a finitely conducting medium with streams of variable velocity distribution is made in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. It is found that the variable streaming motion shows a destabilizing effect and affects the instability criterion only in the case of general wave propagation. For purely parallel propagation to the direction of the magnetic field and the streaming motion, the criterion is independent of the variation in the streaming motion and further the Jeans's criterion is found to remain unaffected in this case. For purely transverse propagation, the criterion is independent of any streaming motion and the Jeans's criterion remains unaffected. The criterion is further independent of the magnetic field and the finite conductivity except in the case of transverse propagation where the magnetic field exhibits a stabilizing influence in case of an infinitely conducting medium.     

Gravitational stability of finitely conducting two-component plasma through porous medium

The gravitational stability of magnetized self-gravitating two-component plasma of finite conductivity flowing through porous medium is studied. Effect of magnetic field, porosity, viscosity, finite conductivity, and neutral gas friction is considered on the stability of the system. Dispersion relations are derived from linearized equations using normal mode analysis. Longitudinal and transverse wave propagations are discussed. On the basis of Hurwitz criterion, the stability of the system is discussed. It is found that Jeans's criterion determines the stability of the system. Jeans's expression depends on the sonic speeds in both the components. For transverse wave propagation in perfectly conducting plasma. Jeans's expression is modified due to magnetic field and porosity but in case of finitely conducting plasma the Jeans's expression remains unaltered. Collisional frequency, viscosity, permeability of the porous medium have damping effect.

The problem of propagation of azimuthally small-scale ULF modes in plasma with 1D inhomogeneity and variable curvature of magnetic lines of force is analyzed. The propagation regions and the transverse structure of stable Alfven and cusp modes, as well as unstable ballooning modes, are determined. It is shown that long-living ballooning and cusp modes can exist. Our results qualitatively describe the behavior of ULF modes with continuous spectrum in the geomagnetosphere and can be used for interpretation of spacecraft and SuperDARN radar measurement data.

The effects of rotation, magnetic field, viscosity and finite electrical conductivity are studied for the gravitational instability through porous medium. The effect of suspended particles on the instability is also considered. It is found that Jean's criterion remains unchanged in the presence of porosity, viscosity, finite conductivity, rotation, magnetic field and suspended particles in the medium.     

Gravitational instability in isotropic MHD plasma waves

The effect of compressive viscosity, thermal conductivity and radiative heat-loss functions on the gravitational instability of infinitely extended homogeneous MHD plasma has been investigated. By taking in account these parameters we developed the six-order dispersion relation for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves propagating in a homogeneous and isotropic plasma. The general dispersion relation has been developed from set of linearized basic equations and solved analytically to analyse the conditions of instability and instability of self-gravitating plasma embedded in a constant magnetic field. Our result shows that the presence of viscosity and thermal conductivity in a strong magnetic field substantially modifies the fundamental Jeans criterion of gravitational instability.     

Larmor radius effects on the instability of a rotating layer of a self-gravitating plasma

The instability of a stratified layer of a self-gravitating plasma has been studied to include jointly the effects of viscosity, Coriolis forces and the finite Larmor radius (FLR). For a plasma permeated by a uniform horizontal magnetic field, the stability analysis has been carried out for a transverse mode of wave propagation. The solution has been obtained through variational methods for the case when the direction of axis of rotation is along the magnetic field. The analysis for the case when the direction of rotation is transverse to the magnetic field has also been considered and the solutions for this case have been obtained through integral approach. The dispersion relations have been derived in both the cases and solved numerically. It is found that both the viscous and FLR effects have a stabilizing influence on the growth rate of the unstable mode of disturbance. Coriolis forces are found to have stabilizing influence for small wave numbers and destabilizing for large wave numbers.     

Effect of rotation and finite Larmor radius on magneto-gravitational instability of Hall plasma in the presence of suspended particles

The effect of rotation on the self-gravitational instability of an infinite homogeneous magnetized Hall plasma is considered with the inclusion of finite Larmor radius corrections and the effect of suspended particles. A general dispersion relation is obtained from the linearized set of equations. The particular cases of the effect of rotation along and perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field are considered. The effects of Hall current, finite Larmor radius, and suspended particles on the waves propagated parallel and perpendicular to the uniform magnetic field are investigated along with the uniform rotation of the medium. It is found that in the presence of suspended particles, magnetic field, Hall current, rotation and finite Larmor radius, the Jeans criterion determines the condition of gravitational instability of a gas-particle medium.
