Scientific paper

Axisymmetric current sheets, where the magnetic field direction is inverted, are shown to be subject to bending waves. In the limit where the effects of magnetic reconnection can be neglected, the modes that are found can be identified as a new type of shear-Alfvén waves. The presence of a wind, i.e., of a plasma streaming motion, in the current sheet is taken into account, and the relevance of these waves to the observation of magnetic polarity sectors in the solar wind and to other astrophysical environments, such as planetary magnetospheres, is suggested.
