The linear dispersion properties of three electron heat flux plasma instabilities are studied in detail by using parameters appropriate to average values in the solar wind at 1 AU. Among the (fast) magnetosonic, Alfven, and whistler instabilities the first one appears most likely to make a significant contribution to the regulation of the heat flux. (AIP)
