THE GRAD-SHAFRANOV EQUATION IN THE MACDONALD-THORNE MAGNETOSPHERE

MACDONALD-THORNE 자기권의 GRAD-SHAFRANOV 방정식

We derive the Grad-Shafranov equation in the Macdonald-Thorne magnetosphere of the super-massive black hole in an active galactic nucleus. Our major assumption is that the plasma velocity is not only toroidal but also poloidal. As a result, we get the correction terms which are related to the poloidal motion of plasma like electrodynamic jets.
