A derivation of the Vlasov-Poisson-Poisson equation is proposed for studying stationary solutions of a system of gravitating charged particles in vicinity of triangular libration points (Kordylevsky cloud). Stationary solutions are sought as functions of integrals, which leads to elliptic nonlinear equations for the potentials of the gravitational and electrostatic fields. This gives a critical mass: for bodies with large masses dominates gravitation forces, and for bodies with smaller masses - electrostatic forces.

It is shown that double vortices are a special class of stationary solutions of the set of nonlinear equations that governs the dynamics of modified convective cells and shear Alfvén waves in a cold rotating magnetized plasma. Criteria for the existence of dipole vortices as well as several analytical expressions for the vortex profiles are presented. It is suggested that modified convective cell and Alfvén dipole vortices may cause anomalous cross-field particle transport in a low-β plasma, such as the ionosphere.
