The Jeans Mechanism and Bulk-Viscosity Effects

In this paper we study the gravitational instability in presence of viscosity. In particular, the standard Jeans Mechanism is analyzed taking into account bulk-viscosity effects in the first-order Newtonian dynamics. We show how the perturbation evolution is damped by dissipative processes and the top-down fragmentation mechanism is suppressed for strong viscous effects. The critical value of the Jeans Mass remains unchanged also in presence of bulk viscosity.
