Abstract

We extend previous work by Buti to include the effect of ion temperature and investigate how the instability range is modified in the simultaneous presence of collisions and ion temperature. A salient feature of the calculations is that waves that were stable in the collisionless case for certain values of the wavenumber k now become unstable.
