On the gravitational instability of a dissipative medium

preprint2001arXivOpen access

Abstract

This paper shows that the ordinary Jeans wave number can be obtained as a limiting case of a more general approach that includes dissipative effects. Corrections to the Jeans critical mass associated to viscosity are established. Some possible implications of the results are finally discussed.
