The magnetic field due to a given current distribution, the interaction energy of a current distribution with an arbitrary external magnetic field, and the magnetostatic interaction energy between two current distributions are decomposed into multipolar components using spherical harmonic expansions. Diamagnetic interactions and the spin contributions to the multipole expansions are also discussed.

Magnetosonic solitons may be given smooth increasing profiles by assuming the presence within the wave of a current distribution Jy(x) of trapped ions perpendicular to Bz(x) and the wave velocity Vx. Suitable ions are found immediately upstream of perpendicular, collisionless shock waves and these are coincident with the often observed ‘foot’ in magnetic field profiles of moderately supercritical shocks. By modelling Jy(x) we apply the theory to previous experiments where Jy(x) is observed, and are able to reproduce reasonably, and thus explain, the profiles in the foot. Insight into a number of features of fast shocks is obtained.

A new monotypic wolf spider genus, Ovia gen. nov. is proposed to accommodate a misplaced species: Pardosa procurva Yu & Song, 1988. Ovia procurva comb. nov. is redescribed, illustrated and designated as the type species for the genus. The subfamily placement of the new genus is discussed and it is considered as a member of Lycosinae Sundevall, 1833 and possibly closely related to Alopecosa Simon, 1885. The presence of an apical process (spur) on the median apophysis is proposed as the putative synapomorphy of Ovia gen. nov. The possible sister-taxon relationship of Ovia gen. nov. with Alopecosa is discussed and evidence on the occurrence of sexual dimorphism and mating plug within the genus are presented. Ovia gen. nov. is assumed to be of Holarctic origin, from which it has migrated to the Indomalayan region. Additionally, a current distribution map for the genus is provided.

Abstract Recently, the physical significance of dynamic toroidal multipoles in the context of electrodynamics has been put under discussion. Indeed, the latter can be shown to arise simply from a Taylor series of the exact source (Cartesian) multipole moments. The split into elementary and toroidal parts was demonstrated to lead to an unphysical result were forbidden components of the momentum transform of the current could radiate into free space. In this contribution, we elaborate the conditions that a current distribution must necessarily satisfy to be considered a ‘pure’ toroidal dipole source. We demonstrate for the first time that symmetry prevents such current distribution to radiate as an elementary electric dipole moment, without leading to an unphysical result. Thus, while both elementary electric dipole and toroidal dipoles are indistinguishable outside the source, they display topologically distinct characteristics within the smallest spherical surface enclosing the source itself and have different physical origin. Based on our results, a pure ‘toroidal’ source can be designed. We believe the outcome of our investigations will help clarify further the formal meaning of the toroidal multipoles.

Abstract The current distribution during a z-pinch discharge in a hollow cylindrical beam of nitrogen clusters is determined by magnetic probe measurements. After breakdown a current sheath arises within the ring-shaped cross section of the cluster beam. During the discharge the sheath is accelerated radially inward towards the axis. Simultaneously the radial collapse of a hollow luminosity pattern is observed by image converter photographs. The arrival of the current sheath at the axis coincides with the rapid development of a luminous core in the photographs. The radius-time curve of the sheath is calculated with the measured density of the electrodynamic forces neglecting pressure terms. Comparison of the observed and the calculated radius-time curves seems to indicate that most of the injected mass of the cluster beam is swept inward by the pinch discharge.
