Abstract:The propagation characteristics of magnetization waves, as well as the instabilities of sound waves in a self-gravitating dark interstellar molecular cloud containing ferromagnetic dust grains and baryonic gas clouds, have been theoretically investigated by including the dynamics of both ferromagnetic dust grains and baryonic gases. It has been shown that there exist two types of subsonic or supersonic (depending on the field strength of the magnetization) transverse magnetization waves, which can be regarded as counterparts of Alfvén waves (for the parallel propagation) and magnetosonic waves (for the perpendicular propagation) in a magnetoactive plasma. It has also been found that, in addition to the usual Jeans instability, the sound waves suffer a new type of instability, which is due to the combined effects of the baryonic gas dynamics and self-gravitational field in both weakly and highly collisional regimes.
