One-Dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell Equilibrium for the Force-Free Harris Sheet

TL;DR: The first nonlinear force-free Vlasov-Maxwell equilibrium is presented, where one component of the equilibrium magnetic field has the same spatial structure as the Harris sheet, but whereas theHarris sheet is kept in force balance by pressure gradients, in the force- free solution presented here force balance is maintained by magnetic shear.

Parallel Construction of Nonlinear Force-Free Fields

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical approach to calculating nonlinear force-free fields is presented, which is similar to Sakurai's approach, in that the field is directly constructed on a grid without the intermediate solution of a large system of nonlinear equations.
