Abstract
The equilibrium and stability of some bounded plasma formations observ ed in the atmosphere of the sun are analyzed. The discussion is restri cted to axisymmetric configurations. The gravitational field is ignore d. Exact solutions for equilibria and local conditions for their stabi lity are derived for a particular class of current distributions. It i s assumed that there are a uniform external magnetic field and an exte rnal plasma of constant pressure.
