  • Gravitational instability of interstellar magnetic clouds 
    Ghosh, K. K; Bhattacharyya, J. C (D. Reidel Publishing Co.,, 1985-12)
    The gravitational instability of a nonrotating isothermal gaseous disk permeated by a uniform frozen-in magnetic field is investigated using a fourth-order perturbation technique. From the results it is found that the disk ...
