Abstract
Thermal-convective instability of a hydromagnetic, composite, rotating, inviscid, and infinitely conducting plasma in a stellar atmosphere has been studied in the presence of Hall currents. It is found that the criterion for monotonic instability holds good in the presence of the effects due to rotation and Hall currents.
