Beyond the Tayler instability: A new global instability of toroidal magnetic fields in stars
A new global instability of toroidal magnetic fields in stars is reported that grows on the Alfvén time, is less dissipation-sensitive than the Tayler instability, and may affect angular momentum transport.
