Vertical Motions in an Intense Magnetic Flux Tube - Part Three - on the Slender Flux Tube Approximation
Abstract
In a recent discussion of intense photospheric magnetic fields we gave an expansion procedure that lead to a tractible system of differential equations governing vertical motions in a slender flux tube embedded in a quiescent environment. Transverse variations were taken into account in our discussion. In support of this expansion scheme we considered the special case of a straight flux tube in a uniform atmosphere. Wilson (1978, 1979b) has now criticised our treatment of this special case. We discuss his objections here, and show them to be without foundation.
