Abstract

Solutions are obtained for cylindrical waves of the equations governing a magnetized self-gravitating collisionless plasma. Subject to certain conditions, we find two types of instability: (i) the hose instability which is related to the anisotropic pressure; and (ii) gravitational instability.
