Abstract:
Following an earlier paper (Pande & Bondal 1991) we have, on the basis of Kippenhahn and Schluter's magnetohydrostatic model of a quiscent prominence, attempted to study the effects of a rotational velocity field in the vertical plane. However, it was not possible to establish weather the rotational velocity field in the vertical plane could be accomodated in the model. We now find that the rotational motion is possible both in the vertical and horizontal planes, without violating the basic assumptions in that model; this is a modification over our earlier conclusion.
