Hydromagnetic Equilibrium Structure of Gravitating Cylinders
Abstract
The equilibrium distribution of physical properties in static or uniformly rotating infinitely extended self-gravitating magnetized cylinders is studied taking the magnetic pressure to bear a constant ratio to the gas pressure at each point. The fluid is idealized either as a perfects gas, obeying polytropic or isothermal relation, or a degenerate gas at zero temperature. Numerical results obtained for the physical properties are tabulated and the graphs are drawn showing the run of density and mass per unit length with distance from the axis in each case.
