Evolving magnetostatic equilibria.
Abstract
The author reviews some of the work which has been done recently on the problem of the externally driven quasi-static evolution of an ideal magnetohydrostatic configuration. In particular, he pays much attention to the possible development during such an evolution of current sheets.
