Abstract

Abstract The effects of the finite Larmor radius of the ions on the thermal instability of a plasma are investigated. When the instability sets in as stationary convection, the finite Larmor radius is found to have a stabilizing effect. The conditions for the nonexistence of overstability are investigated. The case with horizontal magnetic field is discussed.
