The gravitational instability of a fully ionized gas is analyzed within the framework of linear irreversible thermodynamics. In particular, the presence of a heat flux corresponding to generalized thermodynamic forces is shown to affect the properties of the dispersion relation governing the stability of this kind of system in certain problems of interest.
