Weakening of magnetohydrodynamic interchange instabilities by Alfvén waves
Alfvén waves, made to propagate along an ambient magnetic field and polarized transverse to a gravitational field g, with wave amplitude stratified along g, are shown to reduce the growth rate ...

A note on the multispecies model for identical particles
It is pointed out that the multispecies model for identical particles is in general not suitable for considering quasistationary nonlinear plasma structures. For phenomena on long time scales, the a p...
