Self-Gravitational Instability of Collisional Dusty Plasma With Dust Charge Variation and Radiative Effects

Abstract

The self-gravitational instability of partially ionized dusty plasma with radiative effects of electrons and ions, dust polarization force, and dust charge fluctuation has been studied. Using basic sets of fluid equations for ion, electron, neutral, and dust components, a general dispersion relation is derived. In the dynamics of dust charge, an equilibrium dust charge inhomogeneity along with the dust charge fluctuation is also considered. It is found that the presence of radiative cooling of ions and electrons, polarization force, and dust charge fluctuation significantly affects the criterion as well as the growth rate of self-gravitational instability while the dust charge inhomogeneity and dust-neutral collisions affect only the growth rate of instability. The outcomes of this paper are useful in dusty molecular clouds.
