Scientific paper

Using a combined analytical and numerical Method we have treated the question of two-dimensional MHD equilibriam in an inviscid compressible, perfect conducting plasma with an embedded magnetic field in the spherically symmetric gravitational field of the sun. Two solutions are obtained. (1) A steady, self-consistent plasma flow in a magnetic field with both a closed and an open region. In the open region, beyond a few solar radii, the plasma velocity exceeds the local sound and Alfvén velocities. (2) The plasma velocity is everywhere smaller than the local sound and Alfvén velocities and tends to zero at large radial distances.
