Self-consistent equilibrium of a force-free magnetic flux rope
Abstract
We present an exact solution to the problem of a self-consistent equilibrium force-free magnetic flux rope. Unlike other approaches, we use magnetostatic equations and assume only a relatively rapid decrease in the axial magnetic field at infinity. For the first time we obtain a new nonlinear equation for the axial current density, the derivation of which does not require any phenomenological assumptions. From the resulting nonlinear equation, we analytically find the radial profiles of the components of the magnetic field strength and current density.
