Linear Graviational Instability of Filamentary and Sheet-like Molecular Clouds with Magnetic Fields

We study the linear evolution of small perturbations in self-gravitating fluid systems with magnetic fields. We consider wave-like perturbations to nonuniform filamentary and sheet-like hydrostatic equilibria in the presence of a uniform parallel magnetic field. Motivated by observations of molecula...
