Scientific paper

The static structure of the earth's magnetic tail during periods of low geomagnetic activity is investigated analytically on the basis of a self-consistent two-dimensional theory with a collisionless magnetospheric plasma and a bi-Maxwellian velocity distribution. The guiding-center approximation in kinetic theory is shown to yield information of particle pressure and density along the magnetic field lines beyond that provided by the magnetostatic force equation. Tail models with both isotropic and anisotropic particle pressures are developed for the region far from the earth, and the isotropic model is developed to describe the entire magnetosphere. The numerical results of model calculations are presented in graphs, and details of mathematical derivations are included in appendices.
