Scientific paper

The Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two rotating superposed fluids in the presence of a vertical magnetic field has been investigated. It is shown that n2 is purely real, where n is the growth rate of a perturbation. In the basis of this fact it is shown that a unique dispersion relation exists if the lighter fluid lies beneath the heavier one. However, if the heavier fluid lies beneath the lighter fluid, then no unique dispersion relation exists. The effect of rotation is to slow the rate at which potentially unstable stratification departs from the equilibrium position.
