Abstract

The effect of rotation, finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) corrections and porosity on the thermal instability of infinite homogeneous plasma has been explored taking the effects of radiative heat-loss function and thermal conductivity. The general dispersion relation is derived by means of the normal mode analysis scheme with the help of appropriate linearized perturbation equations of the problem. This dispersion relations is further reduces for rotation axis parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field for transverse wave propagation. It is found that the presence of rotation, FLR corrections and porosity amend the fundamental thermal criterion of instability. Numerical computations have been executed. Our result demonstrates that the rotation, porosity and FLR corrections affect the dens molecular clouds configuration and star formation.
