Ideal condensations due to perpendicular thermal conduction in a sheared magnetic fieldCool condensations generated by a radiative thermal instability in a sheared magnetic field have previously been the bases of solar filament formation models. Through the assumption of fully anisotropic heat flow, a new set of condensation modes are here obtained which become singular in the limit of vanishing perpendicular thermal conductivity. The growth rates are noted to typically be greater than those reported previously for sheared field condensations. The fastest growth is exhibited by modes possessing the fewest oscillations.
