Notes:
The linear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) spectrum of an infinite straight cylinder is investigated, taking nonadiabatic terms in the energy equation into account. It is shown that in nonideal MHD, a new continuum arises. Unlike the "classical'' Alfvén and slow continua, this thermal continuum consists of modes that are purely exponentially growing or decaying in time. Thus unstable continua can be encountered.
