Nonlinear force-free configurations in cylindrical geometry

Abstract

We find a new family of solutions for force-free magnetic structures in cylindrical geometry. These solutions have radial power-law dependance and are periodic but non-harmonic in azimuthal direction; they generalize the vacuum $z$-independent potential fields to current-carrying configurations.
