Equilibrium and stability of ellipsoidal plasmoids
The equilibrium and stability of some bounded plasma formations observed in the atmosphere of the sun are analyzed. The discussion is restricted to axisymmetric configurations. The gravitational field is ignored. Exact solutions for equilibria and local conditions for their stability are derived for a particular class of current distributions. It is assumed that there are a uniform external magnetic field and an external plasma of constant pressure.
