Magnetofluid dynamics of magnetized cosmic plasma: firehose and gyrothermal instabilities

Both global dynamics and turbulence in magnetized weakly collisional cosmic plasmas are described by general magnetofluid equations that contain pressure anisotropies and heat fluxes that must be calculated from microscopic plasma kinetic theory. It is shown that even without a detailed calculation...
