Magnetic Support Ridgway, C. ; Priest, E. R. ; Amari, T. Abstract The model for the support of a solar prominence in a twisted flux tube by Priest et al. (1989) is here extended to consider large deviations of the tube from cylindrical symmetry. The prominence is modeled as a finite current sheet with mass which is locally free from singularities in the magnetic field. Analytical solutions are found to the nonlinear force-free equations for the structure around the prominence for two functional forms of the field component parallel to the prominence axis. An associated mixed boundary-value problem is also solved in which the prominence is connected at its base to the photosphere, and the normal magnetic field components along the prominence and the photosphere are imposed.
