Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This is very interesting contribution. Authors suggested new convection mechanism in magnetofluids in presence of rotation.  Results obtained are very important in astrophysical fluid dynamics and in geophysics.

Reviewer 2 Report

In the current study, the authors reported the results about onset of inertial magnetoconvection in rotating fluid spheres and added additional study of  Zhang and Busse. They obtained an explicit dependence of the critical Rayleigh number on the azimuthal wavenumber of the modes as this requires the evaluation of a volume integral of the temperature perturbation. I recommend this paper for publication in fluids.  Minor revision is required.

1. Abstract need to be improved in a precise manner. 

2. I suggest the author to remove the lines 37 to 39, its a duplicate of the previous statement. "For this reason Zhang and Busse [25] were unable to investigate the competition of modes and determine the actual critical parameters for the onset of convective motion"

3. After discussion section, authors should add the conclusion section.

4. Reference should be reformatted according to the journal.
