Key Takeaway

Key Takeaway: Magnetized gravitating cylinders exhibit a constant Alfvén velocity throughout, with equilibrium distributions of physical quantities varying between static and uniformly rotating states.

Abstract

The equilibrium distribution of physical quantities in static and uniformly rotating magnetized gravitating cylinders is investigated on the assumption that the fluid is characterized by a constant Alfvén velocity throughout. The fluid is idealized as a perfect gas obeying a polytropic relation or a degenerate gas at zero temperature.
