An asymptotic two-dimensional equilibrium model of the Earth's magnetotail, containing a thin current sheet and a near-Earth neutral line, is derived. The effect of the dipole field is included. The model may be useful for investigations of particle orbits and magnetotail stability. ¿ 1999 American Geophysical Union
