Abstract
Thermosolutal-convective instability of a composite plasma in a stellar atmosphere is considered to include the effects, separately, due to finite Larmor radius (FLR) and Hall currents in the presence of a uniform horizontal magnetic field. The sufficient conditions for the existence of monotonic instability are derived and are found to hold good both in the presence, separately, of FLR and Hall current effects.
