Exact Travelling Wave Solutions for Isothermal Magnetostatic Atmospheres by Fan Subequation Method

The equations of magnetohydrostatic equilibria for a plasma in a gravitational field are investigated analytically. An investigation of a family of isothermal magnetostatic atmospheres with one ignorable coordinate corresponding to a uniform gravitational field in a plane geometry is carried out. Th...
