Our solution of the MHD equations with the Hall effect shows that this effect can produce thin current sheets in stellar atmospheres at heights where the plasma is tenuous and the Hall effect can profoundly influence the magnetic field variations. The current in the sheets is directed oppositely to the local plasma density gradient. In partiuclar, such a phenomenon is possible on the Sun near the base of the corona.
