Conformastationary disk-haloes in Einstein-Maxwell gravity II. The physical interpretation of the halo

The relativistic treatment of galaxies modelled as a rotating disk surrounded by a magnetised material halo is considered. The galactic halo is modelled by a magnetised mass-energy distribution described by the energy-momentum tensor of a general fluid in canonical form. All the dynamics quantities characterising the physical of the halo are expressed in exact form in terms of an arbitrary solution of the Laplace's equation. By way of illustration, a "generalisation" of the Kuzmin solution of the Laplace's equation is used. The motion of a charged particle on the halo region is described. All the relevant quantities and the motion of the charged particle show a reasonable physical behaviour.
