Local axisymmetric diffusive stability of weakly magnetized, differentially rotating, stratified fluids

We study the local stability of stratified, differentially rotating fluids to axisymmetric perturbations in the presence of a weak magnetic field and of finite resistivity, viscosity, and heat conductivity. This is a generalization of the Goldreich-Schubert-Fricke (GSF) double-diffusive analysis to...
