On some exact solutions in magnetohydrodynamics with astrophysical applications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 March 2006
Abstract
Some exact solutions of the steady magnetohydrodynamic equations for a perfectly conducting inviscid self-gravitating incompressible fluid are discussed. It is shown that there exist solutions for which the free surface of the liquid is that of a planetary ellipsoid and rotates with constant angular velocity about its axis. The stability of the equilibrium configuration is not investigated.
