摘要:

The MHD equilibrium of thin, rotating plasma disks is considered. An axisymmetric steady state is assumed. A corotation lag is included, as is a nonzero toroidal field withBф∝rBr. Rigorous expressions are obtained for a characteristic Alfvén Mach number and temperature, both of which involve vertical averages. If there is strict corotation, the temperature always diverges at large radii. If there is a corotation lag, the temperature need not diverge, and the magnetodisk solutions can extend to arbitrarily large radii. With weak additional assumptions, it is shown thatMA<21/2for a mainly poloidal field andMA<1 for a mainly toroidal field. For the Jovian magnetodisk,MA= 0.8 from Voyager 1 inbound data, and the observation of a temperature nearly constant or slowly decreasing withrfrom 20RJto 80RJon the outbound pass implies a corotation lag th
