Scientific paper

The paper derives the 'reduced' system of equations commonly used to describe the time evolution of the polar wind and multiconstituent stellar winds from the equations for a multispecies plasma with known temperature profiles by assuming that the electron thermal speed approaches infinity. The reduced system is proved to have unbounded growth near the sonic point of the protons for many of the standard parameter cases. For the same parameter cases, the unmodified system exhibits growth in some of the Fourier modes, but this growth is bounded. An alternate system (the 'approximate' system) in which the electron thermal speed is slowed down is introduced. The approximate system retains the mathematical behavior of the unmodified system and can be shown to accurately describe the smooth solutions of the unmodified system. Other advantages of the approximate system over the reduced system are discussed.
