Description

This paper gives a selfcontained description of methods for studying perfect magnetohydrostatic stability of equilibrium structures. Examples relevant to the structures of the sun's atmosphere are systematically given as illustration. A more detailed account is given of the cylindrical pinch equilibrium problem, and relevant consequences for the statility of coronal arches are emphasized

Abstract (French)

Cet article donne une description des methodes d'etude de la stabilite des systemes MHD parfaits. Le cas des structures magnetohydrostatiques de la couronne solaire est pris comme exemple. Un expose plus detaille concerne l'equilibre d'une decharge cylindrique et ses consequences en ce qui concerne la stabilite des arches coronales
