Description

Three-dimensional stability of drift vortices, in which the three-dimensionality is caused by a coupling of the vortex to ion-acoustic waves that propagate along the magnetic field, has recently been studied [Phys. Plasmas 3, 160 (1996)]. It is the purpose of the present Comment to draw attention to an important body of numerical results on this problem published in Plasma Physics 18, 187 (1976). copyright 1996 American Institute of Physics
