Abstract
The effects of the thermal conduction on the linear stability analysis of an optically thin plasma with metallicity Z = 1 and including chemical relaxation time effects, is carried out. Generally, a further stabilizing effect on the unstable modes and an increasing of the damping of stable modes appear for disturbances with values of wave number large enough. However, the oscillating mode appearing at low temperature remain unaffected by the thermal conduction.
