Thermal stability of a weakly magnetized rotating plasma
  The thermal stability of a weakly magnetized, rotating, stratified, optically
thin plasma is studied by means of linear-perturbation analysis. We derive
dispersion relations and criteria for stability against axisymmetric
perturbations that generalize previous results on either non-rotating or
unmagnetized fluids. The implications for the hot atmospheres of galaxies and
galaxy clusters are discussed.
