On the behaviour of the magnetorotational instability when the Rayleigh criterion is violated
An elementary but revealing analysis of the dispersion relation of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in the Ralyeigh-unstable regime is described. The defining properties of the MRI - its maximum growth rate and the direction of the associated eigenvector displacement - remain unchanged as the...
