Scientific paper

The paper constructs exact, nonlinear solutions for a horizontal, cylindrical, current-carrying prominence supported against solar gravity by the Lorentz force. The solutions incorporate the photosphere boundary condition, proposed by van Tend and Kuperus (1978), who analyzed it for line filaments. The solutions have a finite radius for the prominence material and satisfy the equations of magnetostatic equilibrium, and allow for the continuity of gas pressure and of the normal and tangential components of magnetic field across the circular prominence boundary. It is shown that an infinity of solutions is possible; a method is presented for constructing equilibrium fields for any horizontal prominence with arbitrary cross-section and with an arbitrary external magnetic field.
