Scientific paper

Cool condensations which result from a thermal (radiative) instability in a sheared magnetic field have been used in previous studies to model the formation of solar filaments. By assuming fully anisotropic heat flow, the authors have obtained a new set of condensation modes which become singular in the limit of vanishing perpendicular thermal conductivity. Growth rates are typically in excess of those reported previously for sheared-field condensations. The fastest growth is exhibited by modes possessing the fewest spatial oscillations.
