Per Carlqvist (b.
July 25 ,1938 inStockholm ,Sweden ) is a Swedish plasma physicist with an interest in astrophysical applications. [Biographical information from: Carlqvist, Per; Gahm, Gosta F., " [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1992ITPS...20..867C&db_key=AST&data_type=HTML&format=&high=42ca922c9c02593 Manifestations of electric currents in interstellar molecular cloud] " (1992) "IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science" (ISSN 0093-3813), vol. 20, no. 6, p. 867-873.] In 1963, he received the degree of "civilingenjör" from theRoyal Institute of Technology ,Stockholm , in 1970 the Tekn. lic., and in 1980 the Tekn. D.He is currently affiliated with the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, at the School of Electrical Engineering in the department of Space & Plasma Physics.

He is the author of several papers on
astrophysical plasmas , from the formation of stars, double layers, theBennett Pinch , to interstellar helical filaments.The Carlqvist Relation
Carlqvist lends his name to the "Carlqvist Relation", [Gerrit L. Verschuur, " [http://www.springerlink.com/content/l80w8h1101346286/ Interstellar neutral hydrogen filaments at high galactic latitudes and the bennett pinch] " (1995) Volume 227, Numbers 1-2 / May, 1995] a formula used in plasma physics to describe how an electrically conducting plasma filament is compressed by magnetic forces to form a "plasma pinch". Carlqvist noted that by using his relation, and a derivative, it is possible to describe the Bennett pinch, the Jeans criterion (for gravitational instability, [J. H. Jeans, " [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1902RSPTA.199....1J The stability of a spherical nebula] " "Phil. Trans. R. Soc. Lond. A "199 (1902)] in one and two dimensions), force-free magnetic fields, gravitationally balanced magnetic pressures, and continuous transitions between these states.
