Abstract

The magnetogravitational instability of compressible streaming superposed fluids pervaded by different transverse magnetic fields is investigated. A perturbed sinusoidal wave is assumed to propagate along the direction of the streaming velocities. The stability criterion has been derived in a general form, and some limiting cases are recovered from it. The influences of different forces and factors are identified. The system under consideration is unstable not only for states with long wavelengths but also for those with short wavelengths.
