Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index In astrophysics, the Lane-Emden equation is applicable to magnetohydrodynamic fluids under the action of force-free magnetic fields. This implies that mass configurations obtained for neutral fluids through the Lane-Emden equation also exist for conducting fluids in force-free magnetic fields. Such fields are believed to exist in several astrophysical situations (Krishan 1999). This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
