New Analytical 3D Magnetohydrostatic Equilibria for Modelling Solar
Magnetic Fields
Abstract
A new family of analytical magnetohydrostatic equilibria is presented.
The methodology used to calculated these equilibria is based on work by
Low (e.g. Low 1991) in the form given by Neukirch and Rastätter (1999).
The equilibria have the capability of combining a non-force-free layer
with a domain of linear force-free magnetic field, including a
transition between these two domains. Potential applications to
modelling solar magnetic fields will be discussed. Low, B.C., ApJ 370,
