Influence of the magnetic field on the thermal condensation
/ Authors
/ Abstract
The neutral atomic interstellar medium (HI) is well known to be strongly magnetized. Since HI is a 2-phase medium the questions arise of what is the effect of the magnetic field on a 2-phase medium, how magnetic field affects thermal instability ? Here we summarize analytical and numerical results which have been obtained previously to investigate this question.
