Scientific paper

This paper explores the thermal instability of a plane fluid layer rotating rapidly about a vertical axis in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field. The thermal diffusivity is taken to be large compared with the magnetic diffusivity. For a range of parameters it is shown that an increase of the magnetic field leads to a decrease in the critical Rayleigh number, and two quite distinct physical mechanisms appear to be involved.
