Review text

The authors investigate, within the framework of linear analysis, the thermal instability of a compressible shear layer in a porous medium in the presence of weak applied magnetic field and low thermal conductivity. They consider the physical situation in which the wind speed is small, so that their study is restricted to the case of low Mach number. The study is also restricted to the case of large wave numbers only.
